For Example:
Haym Salomon (sometimes written as Solomon and Solomons in period documents) was a Polish-born Jewish immigrant to America who played an important role in financing the Revolution. When the war began, Salomon was operating as a financial broker in New York City. He seems to have been drawn early to the Patriot side and was arrested by the British as a spy in 1776. He was pardoned and used by the British as an interpreter with their German troops. Salomon, however, continued to help prisoners of the British escape and encouraged German soldiers to desert. Arrested again in 1778, he was sentenced to death, but managed to escape to the rebel capital of Philadelphia.

And are we spitting on his grave by ruining Hanukkah in America? Are we trying to intimidate people into feeling uncomfortable saying Happy Hanukkah? Are we arresting people of Jewish decent for praying in public?
NO, NO and NO.
BTW- The Jewish faith is hardly full of Atheists.
