By calling upon the Creator as a source of rights the first people that could call themselves American in the national sense of the term notified the world and posterity that a higher being, God, was the source of their power. Now, two centuries later the Americans still have trouble deciding what these rights are. Are Americans next to remove 'Rudolph' (the reindeer) and 'Frosty' (the snowman) for the sake of their Pagan appeal? How much tolerance does it take to be intolerant?

I think the only reason there's a 'greater' outcry this year, is that religion is a particular hot issue right now, so people are sensitive.

Minor nit - I think that the issue is that Macy's has instructed their clerks NOT to say Merry Christmas, but to offer a generic Happy Holidays greeting instead.
