I agree with you that no one should be offended regardless of what people say.
But I take issue who say happy holidays or season greetings if the reason is to avoid offending people. If the reason you use happy holidays is because that's what you want to wish people have at her. But faux Pc and Faux outrage really shouldn't be part of it.

Is that why they do it though? Maybe it is a recognition that the Christian holiday isn't the only one celebrated in December, and that there are many reasons someone would be wishing a more general happy holiday, as opposed to Merry Christmas:

I've got no issues with either greeting. We aren't a Christian country, so I don't see why we should be bothered by a more inclusive greeting. You know, in the spirit of the holiday...I'm sure Christ would approve.
