I agree with you, especially canons involving different universes or different planets, or where Christianity doesn't play any part at all in canon.

I also don't like Christianity being default in other cultures. This comes up in anime fic a lot - characters saying "Oh my god" or celebrating Christian holidays in a Christian manner (Christmas especially, it's mostly a dating holiday in Japan and wouldn't even have been a thing 100+ years ago there). I can tolerate "Oh my god!" as it is less religious than a common expletive to people now and there isn't much that can easily replace it in dialogue, but a typical Japanese family having Santa and a tree and presents and a manger scene sticks out like a sore thumb.

I read a DS9 fic where an alien character looked up Christmas because they wanted to learn the customs in order to throw a Christmas party. I believe they did it as a bit of a joke because the "target" of the party happened to have his birthday fall on Christmas according to Earth's calendar. It was the secular part of it with the tree, Santa hats, food and presents.

I was duly amused. The character initially thought Christmas was Earth's birthday or something to that effect.

DS9 is a series that I think is an exception to a lot of stuff like this - because as a series it's already kind of obsessed with 20th century Americana (see: baseball episode, Golden Age science fiction episode, Vic Fontaine, etc), so I can completely roll with it if any author wants to add something onto that list.
