Not a Christian, but I celebrate Christmas. I always say merry Christmas. The way I see it is my saying “merry Christmas” is wishing someone good tidings during my holiday. If they get offended by me saying something intended as kind, then fuck them.
If someone says “Happy Holidays” to me then maybe they don’t celebrate Christmas…and that’s just fine! I still recognize it as them being kind.
Hey hey hey, careful with all that decency.
I'm an atheist, I say merry christmas because I really don't care
That's how I see it. I'm a Christian, and people have blessed me in their own cultural traditions before, and I really appreciate it. I think it's incredibly sweet even if we may not agree on all the specifics.
It's like saying "bless you" when someone sneezes
