I am an atheist, and I’m certainly not offended by “Merry Christmas”. I’ve never heard of anybody, in fact, who is offended by the word “Christmas”.
Can someone point me to the group on the left that is lobbying against the use of the word “Christmas”?
You're lucky. A lot of us have pagan liberal inlaws who ride this anti-Christian bandwagon.
Sometimes I wonder if these people are just rebelling against the social pressure that compels them to go out and fight the Christmas shopping crowds and do all the holiday decorations and such. They feel controlled by Christmas and they resent it.
But if you don't want to celebrate Christmas don't do it.

You truly are an innocent, bleachboy. Just walk into any government school and call out, “Merry Christmas,” and you’ll see the wrath of the ACLU. In fact, you might be put into jail.
There are several examples. One that directly affects our family:
My kids go to an elementary school here in Georgia. The Georgia ACLU demanded the school board to have the word Christmas removed from the school calendar. The school board folded, their explanation being they didn’t have the money to fight these psychotics.
The story was on the O’Reilly factor. In fact O’Reilly runs loons attacking Christmas frequently.
