NO! It's the exclusion of what many believe in and support, Jesus Christ the very reason for the season!
The anti Christian people are the ones that started this "xmas" and "happy holiday" as a slap in the face of every Christian!
We have simply decided that if a Store does not want to recognize Jesus Christ, we will not shop there. Since 85% of Americans believe in Jesus Christ, WalMart knows that it will go broke to exclude Christians with Happy Holidays, since Christians don't celebrate a "Holiday" but the birth of Christ.
If the atheist don't like it, then start their own store and exclude Christmas from their stores, and leave the rest of them alone.

Well, for one, many others don't happen to be Christian. But I don't understand how saying "Happy Holidays" excludes Christians any more than it excludes Jews or secularists.

Actually, Xmas is a traditional Chrisitian spelling - with the X representing the cross. Not secular and certainly not anti-Christian. As far as "happy holidays" being a slap in the face of every Christian, aren't we the site that takes liberals to task for taking offense where none is intended? If you don't know the religious beliefs of the person you are talking to, I don't see that assuming they are a Christian is the most polite thing. Basically, you are saying that any non-religious expression that wishes you good cheer in December is offensive to you? Wow.

That's fine. Nothing wrong with that. I just don't understand the vitriol towards people who want to wish everyone, Christians and non-Christians alike good tidings for the holidays.

The X is actually standing for a Greek character which stands for the cross. Pretty anti-Christian if you ask me.
If saying Happy Holidays is anti-Christian, is it also anti-Semetic when we don't say Happy Hannukah?
