Well said.

Politer than I would have thought, though...

BTW:

as atheists, are we just plucking the low hanging fruit of Christmas and Easter ??

Why no war on Advent or Pentecost ?? I think we are missing some significant anti-God, anti-Church, fuck religion action.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Irish tradition: You bury a herring on Easter Saturday. Since meat was prohibited during Lent, most IC had herring as the main dish. After six weeks of that awful thing, they were glad to see the back of it, so a mock funeral and procession was held for a herring.

I swear, I am not making this up.

But watch the Christians run to defend it when you mention that!

Well, they did nail the gut to a piece of wood and who says it can't be a pine? 

Hold the phone, I seem to be commingling my festivals. 

Maybe if they would have nailed the kid to a pine right away we wouldn't have all of this falderal.

Easter was originally a pagan festival that pre dated Christianity just as the Winter Solstice was one that pre dated Christmas
The significance of the egg is that it is a symbol of fertility and that was what the original Easter was celebrating. Christianity
then came after and simply appropriated it for itself. The egg in that case can be said to symbolise the re birth of Jesus even
though this event never actually happened and none of the four Gospels make any reference in respect of it to eggs anyway
