I don't know why anyone would feel moved to wish a non Christian a merry Christmas. How about, "have an nice day".
"That's going too far. But please feel free to wish me, an atheist, a Merry Christmas.

How would you know I was an atheist if I was working in some store somewhere. I think you should wish people a Merry Christmas if that's the winter holiday you celebrate. I certainly won't be offended. If you're Jewish, you could wish me a Happy Chanukah. Same reaction from me.
When I wish you a Happy Holiday, I'm hoping you enjoy the holiday you celebrate, whatever it might be. There's certainly no disrespect meant.
You have a point, I suppose.
I could say, "Have a Nice Day on December 25."
But it is much shorter just to say, "Merry Christmas."
Why would a non-Christian want to take offense at a simple wish from one person to another for merriment on a particular day?
