Maybe it's different in the US and other cultures, but as an atheist I've never seen the phrase as a very religious thing. I say "merry Christmas" and "happy holidays" indistinctly and I've never seen anyone offended by the use of either, independtly of their faith (or lack thereof).
I say "merry Christmas" on the actual Christmas day though.
No one is offended besides the hardcore Christians. No muslim or orthodox Christian or whatever would be mad if you wish them merry Christmas if that's the thing where you both live. As always, it's fake fabricated outrage.
