Attack on values I can buy, what I can't fathom is why you think Christians and Christianity have cornered the market on values.
Happy holidays, what's wrong with that? Why not encompass all, I find my self saying both. What I don't say to everyone I see is happy Chanukah, happy new year, and Merry Christmas. Heck I may not see them again during the holiday season. If you call that an attack on Christianity, well ok.
Praying in public school I have no problem, at lunch children can say a prayer or two on their own. What's the problem with that? What I don't want to see is my grand kids having to sit and wait for the little Muslim kids to finish theirs, then the Hindu children, etc etc. the same people who complain that we don't have prayer in school really mean to say we should have Christian prayer in our public schools. They would never allow the Muslim kids the same right in their public schools. Here is a thought. They are called public schools, there are plenty of christian schools and catholic schools out there. Want to expand your children's Christian teachings then maybe the public school is not the right choice. I hardly think that is an attack on Christianity either.
No I don't think there is an army or groups of people out there who are fighting Christianity.
Getting back to the war on Christmas ... And boycotting and complaining about stores that no longer say merry Christmas but happy holidays. Well your real issue should be why does one day on the calendar encompass from October to January now. I am sure the greeters at Target are confused as hell belting out a merry Christmas when kids are buying their Spider-Man costumes for Halloween. War on Christianity and Christmas ... Big business who take 3 months out of the year to celebrate it.
