Agreed. Those who choose to keep their religious beliefs and traditions may still do so, and those who don't, don't have to. I don't see any disconnect between these positions.

Perhaps, but by the mid-24th Century First Contact was centuries ago to the people of Earth, and its celebration might be considered somewhat akin to the celebration of Columbus Day in the contemporary 21st Century United States of America.
Janeway says it involved a day off school so probably by that point a routine holiday.
I'm pretty sure they talk about the Dominion transporter having a 10 light-year range in "Covenant"
Still, that's way less than the 112 light years Khan beams in Into Darkness

Personally, I like celebrating religious and cultural holidays, even if I am not a part of that religion and culture because I believe in IDIC. Thus, as long as human sacrifices are not involved, bring it on. Let's celebrate diversity. Otherwise, we'd be living in a bland, boring world...

Unlike Columbus, the Vulcans were not murderous thieves, invaders or conquerors. Although some might argue differently.
April 5th 2063 will forever be a day of partying on Earth in my fanon. All Vulcans in the Sol system will attend the festivities for anthropological studies.
And it took The Enterprise one day to get there, one day to get to Vulcan 16 ly away, (ST09) one day to get to Kronos 112ly away (STID). But 4 days according to Scotty to get to Vulcan in STTMP....LOL
Same in my place. But not all of them, just the ones who want to.
Our company only has a very few official Federal holidays thru the year, so we can have a full week off between Christmas and New Year. Our Jewish employees also take whatever holidays they want. I usually take Good Friday. Unfortunately we have to use personal days for it.
I believe in anything that gets me a day off.
Wasn't speculating on the historical realities of Columbus, rather the contemporary sentiment surrounding the federal holiday in the U.S. context.
T'Pol does say the Vulcans have been on earth for ninety years.
Who is this?
I wonder what were they doing? The Vulcans on earth? We're they guiding in society's reconstruction? I mean were they in every country? Every region? Every household? Workplace?
That's a long reconstruction? And we never see it. Yet for all the early tensions on Enterprise we never see anything about all human population feels about this benovelent occupation.

If I remember correctly, in one episode Trip mentions that the Vulcans came to his school on at least one occasion to help the students learn about their cosmic neighborhood.
The switch of counting Warp speed from regular numbers to an asymptotic cardinal counting system that approaches but never reaches 10 was started by an exceptionally bitter and sadistic Superluminal Physics professor at Starfleet Academy who had way too much sway in the scientific community for his or anyone else's good.
There are few, if any, asteroids left in the Sol system and many core Federation systems because while Starfleet won't mine on a world without contacting the local authorities, they can, will, and regularly do strip mine asteroids for everything they're worth. There are still a lot of asteroids left simply because there are a lot of asteroids.
Starfleet actually has dozens of designs for straight-up warships, they just don't use them often because they don't often face an enemy powerful enough to pose that much of a threat to Starfleet. And when they do, they usually get much of their shipbuilding wrecked, so they have to suffice with making Defiant-class destroyers by the hundreds. So designs for massive battleships and heavy cruisers packed with sweet phasery death sit gathering dust for years before either getting pulled out to smack the Dominion around, or shredded for becoming obsolete.

If he was bitter and twisted and sadistic maybe he was in the wrong place lol
We get hints that not everyone was pleased. Archer himself had problems with the Vulcans.
The Vulcans didn't seem to like him too much, either.
