Why do we care? If I want to go out today and hold a spring sphere hunt (I would probably get actual spheres but that is besides the point) how does that in anyway affect you going out and looking for Easter Eggs? I think the name is stupid. I don't have a problem hunting for Easter Eggs when I just want to participate with my friends even in a religion that I am not a part of. But what I do has no bearing on what you do. Go out and hunt for Easter Eggs and care no more. If your biggest problem in life is what pastel-colored plastic treats people are looking for one day a year are called then you really need to get out more.
And protip: if you are going to try and Americanize a holiday and make part of American culture, you should not complain when the non-Christian Americans want to participate without invoking Jesus Christ. Easter is a Christian holiday. It is the second biggest church-going day of the year if not the biggest. You are not going to convince that it is a secular holiday just because chocolate in on sale dirt cheap at CVS. The holiday is a big deal because it is about Christ's resurrection and the secular parts people love celebrating were co-opted in to make it more appealing. (Yes, I realize that even the date was co-opted. Doesn't matter. The primary reason why Easter is a big deal is that whole God thing).
Also, political correctness is not evil and killing this country. The only people who think so are the people who don't come from a background that could be derided by words in the English language just because of who their ancestors were. They are the people who wants everyone to appease them because they are the most important and screw everyone else. We don't have to be inclusive because they are covered. I call bullshit. Trying to remove words and practices from our culture that inherently put down specific groups of people because they are a minority is a good thing. Trying to make it so that women don't have their own, generally lower sounding, jobs because they can't be actors or congressmen is a good thing. Stopping people from saying that they were gypped or jewed out because they got a bad deal is a good thing. And recognizing that there is more than one holiday that takes place in December and it is not just about your evergreens and obese men is a good thing. The only difference between the supporters of political correctness and detractors of it is not that they each feel special and want to be catered to, it is that the detractors feel like everyone should be catering just to them because they are more important.
Now I am done.
