"a) What about the Tripoli Treaty? It's just stating that America isn't a Christian nation. "

"b) So what if Congress met on Christmas Day? Some Christians I know of work on Christmas as well."

And some don't. The point being that it wasn't held to be a special day at all. And Congress tends to take any opportunity to not meet.

"c) What does Unitarianism have to do with this? "

Unitarians aren't Christian. Jesus being divine is sort of a central tenet of Christianity. Being a somewhat religious minority, they were pretty sensitive about keeping the religious and secular separate. Of course, not all were Unitarian. But enough of the framers were so that they had a lot of influence.
