It's Friday, today. Do you worship the goddess Frigg?

"You reap what you sow" is something said by many unbelievers, that is a theory from the bible. The story of "David and Goliath" is a story from the bible that MANY unbelievers refer to, but do not even know it is from the bible. You do not see people going around saying, "Ho, Ho, Ho" and follow the teachings of Santa Claus. But you do however, see pagans adapt to some of the biblical teachings without even knowing it.
Sure. Just remember what day it is.
