Secularized, anti-Christian words 

So you're saying the people who came up with words such as whore, hooker, bitch, nigger, faggot etc. are all liberals?

"Abomination" became "gay"... That's an interesting perspective on the English language, now, isn't it? Also in its class is "anti-christian bigotry" becoming "separation of church and state", not to mention "heathen" being "multicultural ".

As a Heathen, I find it funny that conservatives think it means "un-religious" and I find it ironic that they think it was "changed" to mean multicultural XD And that "Wicca" means "witch-craft" when the two aren't even the same thing. Not sure how I feel about the whole 'Pagan means secular' thing.

Just because words were changed to be more inclusive, less offensive, or to acknowledge that not everyone in the world is Christian, doesn't mean there's an anti-Christian anything.

"Separation of church and state" is a paraphrasing of Ben Franklin's words that were actually defending a church's right to self-govern without interference from government - not the other way around.

In all honesty, I haven't thoroughly explored this site, but I have a strong feeling that it lacks the etymological credentials to be taken seriously. I'd urge anyone who wants to do a little fact checking to cross-reference words listed here with link.

New comment (because editing on dial-up is hard) - I realize this is a page from conservapedia and, as is the case with any wiki site, even further decreases its reliability.

Take, for example, one of the first things I saw - "Xmas" as a bastardization of "Christmas", or a means of removing Christ from the holiday. If that's actually where Xmas came from, then I'd understand being upset, as a Christian.

HOWEVER - the "X" in Xmas actually comes from the link - an Ancient Greek symbol of Christ. The Chi Ro was used as a sacred and holy symbol, and is simply used in "Xmas" as an abbrevation.

In fact, this abbreviation dates all the way back to the 1500s - way before America even existed. Don't believe me? Check its link.

I could probably do this with more examples, but I think I've made my point. There are legitimate concerns, and than there is panicking and fearmongering based on rumors, and this seems to be the latter more than the former.

The idea that words that are secular are "anti-Christian" is absurd. I don't think it hurts Christianity at all to have words used that everyone can relate to. If Christians want to use their own words, great, do so. Meanwhile, I, a Jew, can use whatever words I wish. If they're secular, Jewish, Christian, or anything else, that doesn't pervert Christianity.

Speaking of which, some of these are just plain wrong. Christmas has been around as the term for the holiday since well before any secularization. The term Holiday Party most commonly refers to parties that encompass multiple religions, so it would be incorrect (and exclusionary) to call them a Christmas Party. Christmas Holiday never made any sense in the first place, mainly because Christians weren't the only ones given the holiday off. Same with Easter Holiday. The Gregorian calendar isn't even the same as the civil calendar, so I don't know where you're going with that one. Same with All Hallow's Eve and Halloween (the change is pretty marked here, especially in the way each of them is celebrated). The terms Holy Day and Holiday are completely different as well, considering the first only refers to days that are holy to certain people, whereas the latter simply refers to any day that celebrates something nationally or locally. Independence Day and the Fourth of July are synonymous, and neither has anything to do with Christianity, so I'm confused about this one. The change over from Merry Christmas to Happy Holidays has more to do with addressing the fact that other religions exist. As a Jew, I've been wished a Merry Christmas pretty often, and I've got to say that it gets annoying, especially when the person who says it knows that I'm Jewish. The rest of the ones on this list are nitpicky at best, completely absurd at worst.

One other thing. You do know that the holidays Easter and Christmas were originally pagan holidays, right? That technically means that Christianity perverts the original pagan religion that utilized it. Fancy that.
