You wanna hear somthin' funny? The only Republican I've ever voted for was Gerald Ford! He was such a perfect guy for the whacked out 70s!
Your problem with the Christian suppression argument is which Christians do you mean? You don't speak with one voice on much of anything. The country was founded in large part because of differences amongst Christians, AKA the English Civil War. I know Christians that loath the fundamentalist sects.
Reagan promised the FCs everything but delivered them nothing. GHWB did much the same thing. Your nemisis, the Clintons, were far more devout than any of the Repubs (the Reagans were not the church going kind).
As for Christmas, I'll join in the party but I don't want my kid forced to sing songs for the baby Jesus in school. If you're okay with songs celebrating the Goddess at school, maybe I'll consider it.
