Okay? Aside from holidays commemorating tragedies, I don't think anyone would disagree with this sentiment. I don't know what point they're attempting to make here.
"Happy holidays" is a dogwhistle for, "Fuck you, Christian". Many are well aware of the dogwhistle and call it out.
It's not "Happy Holidays", it's "Merry Christmas".
I've always saw "Happy Holidays" as a blanket statement for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year. The "holiday season", as it were. It's a bit long-winded saying all that to someone. While I won't argue that many of these kinds of people are deliberately disrespectful to the Christian faith, "Happy Holidays" at least acknowledges that there is a holiday there.

Yes, that is why it is a dog whistle. It's that subtle way to push Hanukkah and Kwanzaa and thus dilute Christmas.
