Not for a lot of people. For many Christians (a larger percentage of the American population) it is a deeply religious holiday. Of course the non-religious aspects still play a role (Santa Clause, etc.) Many churches are crowded with those celebrating midnight Mass on Christmas Eve.
You apparently don't live in the US, so I am not sure where your opinions are based.
Christmas is certainly more of a religious holiday in the US than it is in Japan.
