My husband and I are atheists. I'm really laid back and don't really care what other people do religiously, as long as they don't throw it in my face. My husband is the opposite and can be a bit of a "raging atheist" at times. We have a 2 year old son and Easter is coming up..
So my best friend who has a 2 1/2 year old called me and asked if we wanted to meet her up at this huge Easter event in our town Saturday morning that the hospital is having. There will be moonwalks, games, an egg hunt.. the whole 9 yards. I told my husband about it and he is pissed off saying that I'm "conforming to society" by celebrating Easter. I'm simply going to take my 2 year old son to a fun and kid friendly event. What 2 year old wouldn't love to run around outside and get candy and play games on a beautiful spring day? I'm not taking him to church or doing an Easter dinner or celebrating the religious meaning of Easter so IMO, I'm not celebrating Easter.. and if I am for the sake of my kid, then so be it.
The argument got to the point of him hanging up on me and we're not talking. I told him I'm taking my son up there and that's all there is to it, he doesn't have to go. I always looked forward to Easter and getting a basket every year. Why would I not give my child the pleasure just because of my personal beliefs? Am I right in this instance?

If Christianity has got you down, get you some of that old time religion.
I looooved easter egg hunts when I was a kid.
