I'm atheist and I don't get offended. I also don't get offended when people greet me with minority-religion greetings either.

When I'm abroad and people greet me with their local greetings with which I have no cultural grounding, understanding or commonality, I also don't feel offended, rather, I find them interesting.

These kinds of nonsensical diversion into trying to become bland entities stripped of their own identity might contribute to the attraction of people like Trump.

PS. I've worked at Chinese [with lots of Chinese ex-pats] companies where people say Merry Christmas way more often than in American companies where you might get a Merry Christmas one-to-one but not in a group setting, as if they are ashamed to say it. Rather odd.
