Thats why i refused any easter egg i was given today, im not religious, but i think its wrong.

I don't blame the businesses - why not seize an opportunity for profit? If you're going to criticize modern celebrations of religious holidays, find fault with people who claim to be religious, but buy into the marketing ploys. They're the ones who commercialize these holidays.
Frankly I could give a shit how people choose to celebrate religious holidays - religious principles are quite personal, and whether they compromise their own is inconsequential to me.
I feel myself canting dangerously toward criticizing certain religious denominations, so I'll leave it at that.
