Everything upsets theists.
It's the covert rebelliousness and persecution training.

Greggs a well known British baker featured and advert with Jesus replaced by a sausage roll, not only apparently was it offensive to Christians but to Jews as well as a sausage roll contains pork.

Also there is a Tesco advert featured which included a Muslim family enjoying the season, people have threatened to boycott Tesco.

In the mid-80's a local Phoenix grocery chain (Smitty's) ran an ad. "Ham $ .29 a pound". Above it "Happy Chanukah!"

The problem seems to be when they draw attention to it, not even sure i would have seen it had they not kicked up a fuss, now when i walk round and see it n shop windows i will think 'Oh that's the advert' and point it out to other people.
It's counter productive I think to kick up a fuss about such things, and of course as you say it does reinforce the 'snowflake' image.
