You could look it up under Google. It is not a religious holiday at all.
It belongs to American (and British) history. A very important
topic for an English teacher.

I like Granada �s one on 25 October... but it has no relation to autumn harvest festivals!
& we don �t have one in Australia...

Originally, it was a thanksgiving to the God of Heaven (Jehovah) for giving them enough food for the year and probably to say thanks for giving them a new land to live in free of persecution. The Pilgrims were Puritans and thus religious since they came out of the Anglican church. They took a Bible with them and set up a church so I am sure it began as a religious commemoration.
