re: Is it patronizing to say "Merry Christmas" if you don't believe in God/Jesus?

Nobody faults for the religionists for THEIR agendas so why should you feel reluctant for your own?
Having said all that, there's absolutely nothing wrong with "Merry Christmas." It means enjoy your holiday no matter which significance you happen to attach to it.

I don't think Jesus was a wizard either but saying Merry Christmas doesn't bother me. I have many fond memories tied to the holiday and it's a great time to spend with family even if it's origins are pagan.
Merry Christmas to all
Merry Christmas to all

Man I wish more of the offended crowd would just realize this.
I said "Happy Holidays" to a woman once, several years ago. Her response was a very snarky "Merry Christmas!", with the worst bitch look I've ever seen. I was completely taken aback by it, especially considering it was after Christmas.
Ignorant people are just ignorant people. I don't categorize them any further as Christians, Atheists, Muslims, etc. If you can't find a reason to enjoy Christmas, no matter what your background is, there is something wrong with you.

No it isn't

It's like Happy Halloween when you're not a Druid or Wiccan.

Saying, "Merry Christmas?" nah but saying, "He is the reason for the season." Yes
