They like to hearken back to a Golden Age in Christian society when there was no major distinction between the sacred and secular: things like holy days and the sacrament of marriage were indistinguishable from holidays and the civil institution of marriage. Heck, even vital statistics was a matter for the church register and not any civil authorities.

The War on Christmas in this country was waged by Christians. For decades during the colonial and new nation period it was outlawed by Christians, first for being a pagan celebration, then for being an English one (and therefore not patriotic). Those who did put on displays or such were fined or jailed.
