Early cultures celebrated the anniversary of people's birth because they believed people were more vulnerable to evil spirits on their birthdays and being surrounded by fun would ward off bad fortune. This is the origin of the birthday party, to which people brought gifts as tokens of good fortune even thousands of years ago.

Now what does birthday has to do with religion? Birthday is the most atheistic of all holidays. Everybody is born as an atheist, it's only later some become non-atheists.
Birthday has the same meaning for atheists as it has to religious people -- this is the day we were born.

the reason is that the Russian Orthodox Church still lives according to the old Julian Calendar, which is currently 13 days behind the Gregorian Calendar, which is adopted by most countries in the world (and by the Russian government).
