Except that really is not the case anymore in society. Christmas is increasingly being viewed as a secular holiday that is celebrated by the masses and across all cultures in North America. The celebration is rooted differently for different people though. An Angus Reid poll in 2019 found that 10% of Canadians view the holiday as primarily religious and this is down from 27% in 1988. Despite differing religions and cultures, 82% of Canadians prefer to call the season "Christmas." 92% of Canadians said they would be celebrating Christmas. 77% of Canadians set up a Christmas tree as part of the holiday traditions.
You making this out to be far more divisive and exclusive than it actually is.
