This is what I don't understand. Why does saying "Merry Christmas" cause confusion and offense? I'm beginning to think that the non-religious are the only ones that get offended, and it just seems so silly.

In fact, generally speaking, it is the conservatives who are religious and say "Merry Christmas" and the liberals are the ones that make a fuss about it. I find it ironic since liberals accuse conservatives of being close-minded and bigoted.
