I think the 5%, who are actually offended, have become so vocal about it over the years. Sort of like squeaky wheels.I'm curious as to what % of people that top quote actually applies to. I've never seen anyone get offended by Merry Christmas. I say it all the time and I'm the least religious person I know. I'm going to guess 5% max.
<- - - - Agnostic, who probably swears (i.e. "God D@mnit") more than anybody you know.
