If you are not religious, why do you celebrate Easter?

Asked by downtide (23815points) April 24th, 2011

Assuming that you are such a person, of course. Do you celebrate Easter if you’re not religious? And if so why?

I’m aware that Easter has two different meanings; as well as being the celebration of the resurrection of Christ it’s also the pagan fertilty festival of Eostre, hence eggs, chicks and bunnies. Is there any meaning to Easter for people who are neither Christian nor Pagan? Or is it just about the chocolate?
