We don’t seem to have that movement here (Germany), so I’m wondering is it really about Christ or is it only against other religions or Atheists? What I mean is: Santa Clause isn’t Christian, are they against it too?

I gotta say, the folks putting up the “Put The Christ Back In Christmas” signs during the holiday season are some of the least festive and most Grinchy on the block.

It’s against secular Christmas, which is a major holiday in America. It’s the difference between nativities, hymns, and a certain Turkish bishop with a penchant for necromancy vs decorated trees, holiday themed pop music by Jewish singers, and a neo odinic figure with flying caribou.
Also yeah they’re mad atheists and other non Christians have a happy time at the holidays.

If you really want to scare a German with Santa Claus, tell them he’s Turkish.

Being a religious fanatic is a joyless existence.

Am I supposed to pick up a the birthday cake or something? Is it cheating if I use the number candles?

They’re also wrong. Christmas is just Saturnalia rebranded/appropriated. Christ wasn’t even born in the winter according to scripture.
Santa is the reason for the season. And consumerism! And lights!

From the hotel bookings, I’d say he was born during the World Cup.
