20. Bill O'Reilly and Todd Starnes still believe it to be real, and constantly preach it.

Bill O'Reilly is no longer employed, (in fact he can't find a job!) so he's been neutralized.

But Todd Starnes is still a semi-regular on Faux "news," and they happily let him spout to his heart's content.

The modern "war on Christmas" really took shape when manufactures and merchants began the "gifts! gifts! gifts!" obsession, and was crystallized by the "Dearborn Independent," Henry Ford's newspaper that had the "war on Christmas" as a big part of the plot by "The International Jew." (Their words, not mine.)
