Len Hanley: How can readers not conclude there has been a war on Christmas?

To The Daily Sun,

As I celebrate Christmas exclusively and without apology for the birth of Jesus Christ, I thought I would pass along a few things for other Christians to ponder about our religious holiday:

1. The statistical odds that the men who wrote the six prophecies they made about Jesus Christ's birth got it right are approximately 1 in 25 million. So how would Atheists explain how they are all six correct?

2. According to various polls taken, out of 90% who celebrate Christmas, 55% of them celebrate Christmas as a religious holiday, while 35% celebrate it as a non-religious holiday, and 9% do both. Yet 90% or more of holiday merchandise, advertising, promotions, television, movies, and songs are in favor of the 35%. This doesn't make sense unless you consider there could be non-business reasons for this.

3. New Hampshire has 1.4 million people, and if only 10% of Christians in the state were to boycott all the non-religious "Christmas" merchandise, retailers would lose over $500 million in sales.

4. Jesus Christ never lied to anyone, including children, for any reason.

5. The non-religious dictionary defines Christmas as a Christian religious holiday to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ. Anything that does not pertain to that definition logically means it has nothing to do with Christmas.

6. There are counterfeit Jesus Christ mall Santa Clauses courtesy of the god of this world to overshadow the birth of Jesus Christ, but nothing for Christian consumers. Also employees are told not to say "Merry Christmas" to customers.

7. Christmas has been about the birth of Jesus Christ for over 1,000 years versus Santa Claus who has been stealing it for just over 200 years.

Given all the things you have read here, how can readers not conclude there has been a war on Christmas against us?
