The meme is not an unfamiliar one this time of year: “Rather than putting ‘Christ’ back in ‘Christmas,’ I’d settle for putting ‘Christ’ back in ‘Christians.'” But when the likes of left-wing documentary filmmaker Michael Moore puts the meme on his Facebook page — in front of his 2.3 million followers — it elicits a bit more of a reaction.
