20. Actually, it matters more.

Why? Because the Christians have spent generations co-opting this holiday and many others. Allowing them to continue doing so does a disservice to everyone who isn't Christian.

Further, while most Christmas iconography is secular, a creche is most certainly not, and that is why it is the favorite Christmas decoration of the pushy Christians. It is one of the few Christmas decorations that is decidedly UN-inclusive, and as such should never be allowed on public property.
