It says a lot about the current insane state of American religious paranoia that the Snopes.com urban legends site has a whole category tagged 'Politics -> Christmas'.

The issue, in case you haven't noticed, is the rather odd idea that Christians, in America of all places, are being marginalised. Because, you know, some companies aren't saying 'Christmas' enough. This is important; if your religion doesn't have the unfailing backing of free market capitalism, it will wither and die.

So, remember, anyone who doesn't say 'Christmas' enough during December should be stoned. It's the Christian way!
