Is "Merry Christmas" Politically Correct??

[Ares]

I've always laughed so hard at this. Here I am, an atheist, and the far right wants to insist I say "Merry Christmas". So I do, meaning Santa and Rudolph and presents, and turning it ever faster into a strictly secular holiday.

If it were MY very special religious holiday, I'd be trying to STOP the stores and non-Christians from using the term constantly.

I always found it strange how "atheists" celebrate a Christian holiday literally named after a Christian religious figure Jesus Christ. There is nothing secular about Santa Claus who is another Christian religious figure originating from the Christian Saint Nicholas.

Atheists should practice what they preach and not celebrate religious holidays.

Aah yes, the very classic and very real “War on Christmas”. Nothing triggers the right more than saying Happy Holidays.

I have no problem with Happy Holidays since even though a significant majority of the U.S. is Catholic/Christian we have plenty of other minority religions.and you never know whom you are saying it to. I live in NJ which has a large Jewish population.
