Atheists are always protesting Christmas but not St. Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, All Saint's Day (a.k.a. Halloween) or Easter. And they never protest any of the Jewish or Muslim holidays. Why is that?

They just hate Christianity (like all liberals), but were too dumb to realize that St. Patrick was a real saint and not a Leprechaun who just wanted to get drunk.

This is exactly what I was going to say. They'd rather get drunk and party than actually think of what the meaning behind the celebration might be.
I've never met any atheist/agnostic that ever protested any religious holiday. What we hear on the news can often give the impression that the minority speaks for the majority when in reality, they're unique, fringe people with an outlet (or just really big mouths).
As an atheist/agnostic myself, I certainly have no problem with any religious holiday and one of my hobbies is photographing religious places of worship.

Unfortunately you're wrong...liberals don't hate Christianity although a case can be made that they should.
That aside, liberals don't hate St. Patricks day because like conservatives, they're either getting too drunk to care about it or they don't know the meaning of the day. And even if they did know the meaning, why would they care regardless? No one is pushing St Pats on anyone.
As for the OP's nonsensical statement about liberals hating Christmas, that claim is just as silly.
On Christmas, Liberals are doing the same thing that conservatives are doing: shopping their asses off and going too far into debt to really care about the so called meaning of the day (not that it has any real meaning anyway). It's a commercial holiday. Deal with it.
Christmas hasn't been a religious holiday in decades.
It's a day to drink. I don't think I ever associated St. Patrick's day with anything religious...ever.
Well I don't know if it is really a day for drinking, but I have had 2 glasses of wine, but I also never thought of it as a religious holiday, I am not sure many do!!!

Live and let live.
Well you must be living in a different world than many of us, if you don't think Atheist do not object to Christmas and the celebrations that go with the holiday. It depends of course, we have a granddaughter who is an agnostic. She loves Christmas but doesn't care for all the religion surrounding it.
