I think that you should wish any actual* Irish person a "Happy St Pat's Day" lo. I'm sure they'll leave you in no doubt as to how insulting that is to them...
*actually Irish as opposed to somebody who has Irish ancestry.

LOL Kinda like Cinco de Mayo is to an actual Mexican?
This is America: My American-Irish roommate and I traded tales on how San Ho' would handle rowdy, drunken Irish and/or Mexicans since both fall on a Saturday this year.
In the US, we celebrate US holidays. What, is that not secular enough for ya?

What are you blathering on about secularism for?
Let me make it easier for you:
Terms which are acceptable to the Irish:
St Patrick's Day
St Paddy's Day
Terms which an Irish person might well punch you in the throat for:
St Pat's Day
Get it now?
