For example, it isn't a violation of free speech for a business to create a rule that no one can curse or that their employees must greet customers as they walk in the door. Whether or not a business uses certain phrases, like Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays, will depend on what they believe that their customers prefer. Blame capitalism when businesses want their employees to say Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas not taxes or the government.
I never said the government nor taxes was the reason a business suppresses the use of Christian language, you are grabbing at straws, desperate to get out of an argument you want win. Once the Christian community started going shopping else where they decided their employees could say Merry Christmas. It had nothing to do with what their customers preferred, it came down to money and the fact that management doesn't like the word Christmas, they do like our money though.

Your statement makes no sense in the context of our discussion. You were the one who brought up Merry Christmas and taxes.
As far as grabbing at straws, I suspect that you don't actually believe anything that you write on this board or you are just extremely dishonest.
