"Naw it is because most of us believe our faith is personal and feel no need to flag wave or constantly defend against those who have none."

Well that is a very respectable position, as I've said dozens of times. Unimpeachable. Unfortunately, the actuality doesn't bear you out. We are already in the throes of a month's worth of Christian nonsense surrounding a winter festival that you lot stole and made your own and there's no getting away from baby Jesus now until nigh on New Year. That is not millions of Christians keeping their faith personal exactly, is it? Millions of parents and teachers are currently herding their offspring to carol services and those disgusting Christingle ceremonies as we speak. The airwaves are replete with plenty of that Christian flag-waving, making lots of Christian money for Christian-loving capitalists. If Jesus were alive today he'd be turning in his tomb, I tell you. Still, we all go along with it, persons of private faith, flag-wavers and heathens alike. The only difference with me is that I shun radio stations such as Classic FM that play carols all day, and on Christmas Day I shall raise a glass or eight to the strengthening sun. Now there's a notion next to which baby Jesus pales!
