Saying "Happy Holidays" or "Season's Greetings" is not telling xtians they are "wrong." It is telling them that they are not the only people on the face of the earth and an awful lot of them hate to hear that.
That seems like a bit of an exaggeration. I don't think most Christians, Muslims, Hindus, cats, dogs, giraffes, Walmart greeters, grinches, or any other group or demographic you might mention gives a rat's behind one way or another. Now there may be small numbers out there, just like I'm sure there are atheists who choose not to say "Christian" or "Merry Christmas", but who cares? If someone gets offended over a card that says "Merry Christmas", then they're probably missing the point, and if someone gets upset because their Christmas card had Frosty on it, then they're missing the point as well. In most cases, it's probably better not to generalize what a small number may believe to a large demographic unless you can show a direct relationship between the two, and not just a few fruit loops looking for something to offend them.
