I am not a Christian. But I am smart enough to know that Christianity is the religion of a vast majority of Americans. If I am in a country where the vast majority are of one religion I expect to see them celebrating their religious holidays. If I were in a country that was mostly Muslim, I would not be offended if there were public observations of Islamic traditions. Do Christians in Israel get angry over celebrations of Jewish holidays?

I am a strong believer in the separation of church and state, but I prefer to save that fight for important matters, like school sponsored prayer, censorship, and laws about our behavior that are based on the Bible.
