"Atheists are fighting Christmas because they are bitter."
Quote:
Bill O’Reilly continued his fight against the War on Christmas™ tonight, bringing on columnist and noted monotonous speaker Ben Stein to go after all the secular-progressives and Hollywood types who they believe are, one guesses, on the front lines of the war against the Christmas holiday. In particular, O’Reilly brought up the common complaint that people should be saying “Merry Christmas” as opposed to “Happy Holidays.”

Stein prefaced his comments by acknowledging that even though he is Jewish, he has no problem with people wishing them a Merry Christmas. O’Reilly said that even though it’s a Christian holiday, non-Christians can still celebrate it as well in the spirit of the season. Stein added that the sentiment of the holiday spreads across all faiths and philosophies.
O’Reilly then lit into “secular-progressives” trying to remove not just the Christmas holiday, but all displays and all public utterances of the word. Stein said that there are plenty of “angry, bitter people” looking for a war to wage, and they have settled upon Christmas as their target, which is the only explanation Stein could think of to rationalize people going after “the prince of peace.”
O’Reilly brought up his interview last night with Rhode Island governor Lincoln Chafee, and couldn’t figure out why, when Chafee’s state is suffering economically, he wouldn’t want to encourage people to celebrate Christmas in Rhode Island. Stein touted the values of love and tolerance promoted by the Christmas holiday as more of a reason for anyone to want to set up a Christmas tree in public.
Umm I've never been against the celebration even though I've never really believed there was a God. Don't associate Santa, the tree, the gifts and the dinner with the "birth of Jesus."
We have the best country that has ever been in the history of mankind and a large part of it is because it's based on the Christian principles of forgiveness & toleration
Why bother arguing about Christmas? It's supposed to be a happy holiday. If you argue about Christmas of all things you need to get your priorities straight.

Why do atheists care about what we Christians do, and no one is asking them to sacrifice anything they can celebrate Christmas and say Happy Holidays to everyone or not why is this even a controversy.
