Why do non-Christians feel compelled to come to Church on Easter and Christmas?

Happy Easter!!!

Something that has always puzzled me. Easter and Christmas are the 2 days of the year that non-Christians come to Church. Its on these days that local Church's swell in attendance. Its always seemed a bit odd to me.

Its on these 2 days a year that Church Pastors get a chance to preach to more Non-Chrisitians, in one fell swoop, than at any other times of the year. It seems atheists, Agnostics, and other non-believers come on these 2 Sundays when they wouldnt even dream of darkening the Church doors any other days.

Why is this?

What unseen force compels them to come to Church on just these 2 days? If would seem logical that if they deny God the other 363 days of the year, that Easter and Christmas would be no different. Why on these 2 days, would people deny their belief systems and come to pay homage to a God that they dont even know?

Well, I would like to purpose that there is a part of them that knows that God is God and nothing else will fulfill them. I would like to put forth that even though they dont know God, they deny God, and even battle against him, that on these 2 days of the year, something inside them, perhaps deep inside, just tells them that they must go to Church and recognize their God.

The group Audio Adrenaline sung a song about this that in my opinion summed it up the best. I tried to find a youtube video on it, but was not able to. Perhaps the song is to old.

"And every heart, and every soul, everybody's got a God-shaped hole. " I think they put it very well.

In every single person, God built into their very genetic code a knowledge that God is the creator. Every person knows, even though they can choose the deny it, that Jesus is the Son of God and he is the only thing that will fill this whole inside them.
