If your friend has a Christmas tree in order to honor his wife's beliefs, then he isn't really celebrating Christmas - he's just hanging out while other people celebrate it.

Saudi Arabia is a Muslim society. The religion defines life in that country, and violations of Muslim law are punishable by the state. Violations of Christian law are not punishable by the state in America. Christianity does not define life for every American, ergo this is not a Christian society.

Nope. That isn't my argument at all.
