In my opinion, the most amazing truth that Mr. Prager, a non-Christian, makes in this article is that there is a very real attack by the Left on Christianity right now. When a Jew is pointing out that Christianity is being attacked and defending it, you know it's not just some crazy consipiracy or bout of paranoia:
...What is significant is that the civil rights commission and the city administrator of an American city -- a heartland city -- would recommend that Good Friday be replaced by the meaningless "Spring Holiday."
It is significant for these reasons:
1. There really is a war against Christianity.
Leftism functions as a secular religion, and its adherents understand that the major obstacle to the dominance of Leftist policies and values is traditional religion, specifically Christianity. With the demise of Christianity in Western Europe, Leftist ideas and values came to dominate that continent. America, the most religious industrialized democracy, remains the great exception.
(...)
5. Non-Christians offended by Good Friday as an American holiday are narcissists.
The Left tells us that non-Christians are offended by the government celebrating Good Friday. As a Jew, permit me to say that any non-Christian offended by Good Friday or Christmas gives new meaning to the word "narcissist." To seek to erase the name Good Friday is an exercise in self-centeredness and ingratitude that is jaw-dropping. We non-Christian Americans live in the freest society in human history; it was produced by people nearly every one of who celebrated Good Friday, and we have the gall to want to rename it?

Well put, Mr. Prager. For as long as Christianity has existed, Christians have recognized Jews as the chosen people of God and we've supported the Jewish nation of Israel. It's nice to see some support being reciprocated.
