Easter Play and complaint on Facebook

I recently put the following article on Facebook and got a rather interesting reply see after article

Easter
My Grand Children go to a Roman Catholic School and they recently re enacted the Easter Story in a play to the parents, I just wonder how many School Children are taught the story of Easter or do they think it is just a time to eat lots of Chocolate?
I am some what perplex by the various Super market chains who refuse to show any religious content on their Easter Eggs, some say that they do not want to offend other religions but their main reason is they can not sell those with a Religious Content?

Surely these Supermarkets whose only God is money and profit must realise that Easter is a Christian Festival , a celebration of Jesus being crucified and returning from the dead to save us. Now you may not agree with that BUT surely it is hypocritical to make money out of a Festival you do not support?
Some of our Secularist faction believe that Easter should be banned as a Bank Holiday and a National Celebration maybe called the “Arriving of Spring Holiday” well sorry Facts Population of UK 63 million 2012 59% Christian 25% atheists agnostics do not and could not care 16% other religions. 371,70000 Christians (just over 37 million) Humanist/Secularist 28,000 which 0.044% . Give 20 Philosophers one question and they will come up with 20 answers and none have come up with the Philosophy of Christianity
Militant Secularist want the banning of religion they differ from a Secularist Country where Religion plays no part in Government but still values the part Religion plays in society. The laws, moral code, ethics in the UK are built on Christianity and cannot be forgotten

• Harry Bennett Wasn't Easter originally a Pagan festival 'The Spring Equinox'? Which is to celebrate Mithras. Mithras was similar to Jesus (who's story pre-dates jesus) and was resurrected at spring. It was also celebrate the new life which is flourishing around spring. 
  
  Also the laws and moral code of the UK are built on christianity? We haven't got our moral code and laws from Christianity. Other wise we would have the death penalty for working on a Sunday (Exodus 31:14), being raped (Deuteronomy 22:23-24) and being Gay (Leviticus 20:13). As well as many many other 'sins' which we do on a day to day bases. Laws against things such as murder and stealing can't really be claimed by Christians. Civilisations such as the Ancient Greeks existed hundreds of years before Christianity and I bet they had laws in place against Murder etc.

  Martin Clarke whether you like it or not our history is built on Christianity FACT How can Easter be a Pagan festival it is about Jesus being crucified. I am well aware of the cult of Mithras which was supported several hundred of years before the birth of Christ in Rome but it no similarity to Christianity. Interestingly those who want to attack Christians always use the Old testament like yourself but never quote the New Testament of Jesus Christ. It his testament that makes us Christian. As for the Greeks they most probably had laws against Murder but there system and message has collapsed of the passing of time while the message of Jesus has spread throughout the world in just a short period of time 2000 years. I do not preach my beliefs I just state fact
