I, for one, am deeply insulted that people are celebrating a holiday
initiated by a Roman polytheist who named himself a god.

New Year?

To be really insulted you would have to celebrate new year in March when
the Romans began their year.

Look, it's bad enough that I go to Times Square and wait for them to
drop the ball at sundown every Rosh Hashanah. I don't have to be
reminded of OTHER people's New Year's as well!
