I dont think he is assuming that. In fact he quite clearly states that:,p> The bottom line here, as it is with all birthday celebrations, is not when Jesus was born. It is that He was born.

The point is not that you are being "anti-christian" or "anti-american" by not celebrating Christmas - you are free to not do that if you wish. The point is that some of those who hate Christianity USE these kinds of arguments in order to undermine the Judeo-Christian nature of our society. as in:

...the Christmasphobes do not propose to celebrate the Nativity on what they consider a more historically authentic day. They simply refuse to celebrate it at all.

These people don't care about whether it is right or wrong to assign December 25th as a special day to celebrate the birth of Jesus, or even whether it is right to do such a thing at all. They just want to spoil the event for those of us who do wish to celebrate it. As in all things, it is the motives that matter.

Duke says at the beginning of his bigoted article: This less well-known attack could ultimately prove more damaging than the usual atheistic assaults. And it's embraced by religionists themselves.

So yes, his little whiney diatribe DOES include anyone under this moniker "christmasphobe". Whether they believe n Jesus the Son of G-d or not, to Duke it doesn't matter, you don't believe christmas is a legitimate biblical holiday then you are anti-christian, anti-god, anti-religion, and anti-american. In Dukes bigoted world that makes total sense.
