> We’re not debating whether or not everyone of every faith celebrates secular Christmas, but whether or not celebrating secular Christmas is sufficient to identify a character as Christian.

Maybe that is what you're debating. It was only one example that I gave in my original post.

It seems to me that a lot of people who grew up in the dominant culture of the US are jumping to defend Christmas as a wholly secular thing. It would be interesting to watch if it weren't so typical.




No one is saying Christmas is “wholly secular”. They are clearly arguing that “celebrating Christmas” doesn’t identify someone as Christian.

You know, because the context of the thread is characters’ religious identities.
