What is the point of of wanting to prevent those who do not share your religion from celebrating their holidays? There is a national secular holiday called Christmas and a religious holiday called Christmas, how does the existence of one cause problems for the other? Are other secular holidays like the 4th of July or Veterans Day also a problem? Is this something similar to Christians having a problem with the secular legal contract called marriage being allowed alongside the religious ceremony and oath called marriage?

Theologians have debated that one. I recently attended a service where the minister argued for Good Friday being more important.
Christmas is the Incarnation - so it’s like arguing over the most important part of a purchase.
Christmas - money put on the table Good Friday - money taken Easter - Receipt printed
