Yes, thanks for the effort that went into the rewrite on this post.
I would like to leave this thread with the following parting thoughts. Please take this rhetorically if you like.
Do you find it necessary or appropriate to pass the same disclaimers as you have here when passing on seasonal well wishes to persons of Jewish faith?
Have you observed this level of disclaimer as common or useful in social settings between people of differing religious backgrounds?
As someone with a stated preference for avoiding making direct confrontational statements, can you imagine the connotation that going to the lengths you have here to disclaim yourself from this particular belief set above and beyond cultural norms?
I think that last one is source of the disconnect between your intention on this post and the reaction from your reader-friends here.
