And literally no one says there should be no 'space' for other beliefs in today's society.
Not everything has to be a ridiculous culture war.

But the "War on Christmas" fight was a pushback against businesses and other institutions deciding to provide that space for other beliefs. People stopped overtly describing their celebrations as "Christmas" observances, instead defaulting to more neutral "holiday" celebrations. Conservatives got very upset by that, arguing that it was not appropriate (or necessary) for the overwhelming majority of the population to retreat from those overt declarations of faith just to accommodate the small minority of folks who don't share that faith.

There's a tension there. How much do you value the public displays of the majority faith, vs. how much you value minimizing overt references to faith to accommodate minority religions?

Again, if you're a member of a discrete religious minority in that culture, it's pretty obvious which perspective is more solicitous to your interests.
