The most blatant is referring to Christmas as Xmas
Have you noticed the increasing use of lights and the term Illuminate vying with Christmas? Together they are sneaky New Age celebrations of the ‘enlightened,’ meaning initiates of modern mystery religions who have attained enlightenment or oneness with a pantheist ‘god’ such as Brahmin or Lucifer (New Age).

The most blatant is referring to Christmas as XmasThink of the X in Xmas as a Greek Χ (Chi) rather than a Latin X and you've got the first letter of the Greek Χριστός (Christos).
“X” is Greek for Christ so that one doesn’t bother me.
Seems to me that years ago — like thirty — I read somewhere that the “X”mas thing wasn’t meant to be disrespectful.
The “X” was a symbol; for the cross, for illiterate people.
That it stood for something like “Christ’s Mass.”
I don’t know. I neither believe nor disbelieve that idea without some research, or at least a recognized source.
Personally, I find “Xmas” to be disrespectful, now-a-days.
And making it about Santa and not Jesus.
When I see Xmas, I say the X represents the cross :)
The symbols Chi (X) and Rho (P) are intertwined and translate as Christ.
“X” usually refers to the unknown. Christ’s birth, death, & resurrection are not unknown except for those who are trying to make it unknown to a younger generation. This is being accomplished in several ways as has been mentioned, but even those doing this may still have a limited opportunity to repent of this sin.
