This person was clearly telling you that your opinion is in the minority, that most people morally/ethically would rather use a general or generic greeting to make you feel the most comfortable.

Guessing wrong at someone’s religion or wishing them a happy religious holiday that they don’t spend is substantially less effective at wishing someone well wishes. It’s as simple as that. What’s even better is knowing that persons religion and wishing them a happy holiday for them specifically.

But again, we and the post itself, are talking about for general purposes where you may or may not know the persons religious preferences. I hope this makes things clearer, I’m not upset or angry or trying to hurt you. Just trying to make what is seemingly (according to this thread) the popular opinion clearer in an attempt to discuss a silly topic of “how best to greet someone around the holidays”
