I have been thinking a bit along those lines (but have not taken any action yet). I think the best strategy would be to pick out selectively comments (or posts) that appear to be by real people and politely challenge them (including raising questions that encourage them to think).

Jehovah's Witnesses also seem very devout, and they too do not celebrate Christmas. Also only two of the four Gospels (Matthew and Luke) give an account of the events related to Jesus's birth. Mark and John start with Jesus's baptism as an adult.
