Why can't you just have a little respect for people who believe in certain things? You can be respectful without believing in there customs/traditions and beliefs. I am not trying to be a dick here be you are coming off as a grouchy old man.
There are many different religious denominations that work where I work. When they are celebrating there customs I wish them well and ask them how there event is going. If they say something to me about there religion I dont say " Sorry buddy I dont believe in that crap so bugger off". And even tho you don't say those words, that is how they are taken.

Exactly and it belittles the other person who is celebrating whatever the holiday in question is. It implies that they have such a small brain to be involved with some custom or to be celebrating some holiday.
It is this small minded attitude that causes all the hub bub and hoopla regarding PC. And I am sorry, but it is a petty attitude, a petty attitude that only diminishes people with such an attitude in my eyes.
