render_to_response is a shortcut that makes some assumptions about the
response you want to send, hence it's placement in django.shortcuts.
I actually don't recommend using shortcuts until you know what you're
missing, but in this case, the "normal" way of calling
render_to_response is as you did:
render_to_response(template_name, context_data)
But this makes assumptions about how you want to load the template
(based on the name), that you want to use a standard
django.template.Context rather than a django.template.RequestContext,
and that the stock HttpResponse, with no overrides, is what you want
to return to the client.
These are often good assumptions, but not in your case.
TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS don't run on standard Context objects.
