I have noticed a similar trend with people insisting on saying "Merry Christmas," as if to say that that is the only appropriate holiday greeting to say. Like nobody else's holidays matter. Like "Happy Holidays" or "Season's Greetings" is some form of insult to Christ and all Christians.
If the Jews don't get to sing the Dreidel song, and the Pagans don't get to sing a song about the dying of the Oak King [I think I've got the king right -- it's been awhile], then it's only right the Christians don't get to sing about Christ except where all the other religions get to sing about it.
As for America being a Christian nation, I agree with you but I don't think the 51% of voters do. And that's a problem, because as a democracy [which they say we are; we're really a republic, just like it says in the Pledge of Allegiance] majority rules.

And they're the majority.
