The word "Holiday" is derived from "Holy Day" so for those who love to be governed by their religion, wishing them a happy holy day should make them happy.

Then again, those people are generally ignorant.

The same goes for the trope, now so popular, that life begins at conception. Once again, their ignorance is showing. Their beloved Bible clearly states (in Genesis) that life begins at first breath, and ends at last breath.
