I have done an atheist Hannakuh (sp?) and am about to do an atheist passover. How would you expect an atheist passover to be different from a Conservative or Orthodox one? (or Liberal)

Jon Miller In the good old days, Jewish atheists would have had a meal on Passover, and not bothered with any ceremonies. Theyd have been too busy arguing over whether Trotsky or Stalin were right. These days we've got all kinds of funky groups, Jewish Humanists, and such. I frankly dont know what they do. I presume they wouldnt mention G-d, though.
