It’s a church handing out fliers at a public school for an event at a church. It doesn’t matter if it’s an Easter Egg Hunt or a spring donut roll. It’s a church handing out fliers at a public school for an event at a church. What rituals have been co-oped by what religion has nothing to do with the problem of a church asking children to come to an event at the church. Non-christian children don’t have to participate. The event was advertised at the school and non-christians are being singled out (for lack of a better term) for not being part of the group. It’s a chance to cause division wrapped as an innocent ‘fun’ event. How children perceive gatherings is different to how adults reconcile that the church is pandering a pagan ritual as local culture.

I was raised christian and shed the superstition and ritual many years ago. I just get so very tired of seeing and hearing the christian religious crap being called harmless. As adults we can ignore all the superstition and implied insults. Children get teased and bullied for not being part of this group or that group. It would be inclusive if it was open to everyone and not held at a church and the fliers weren’t handed out at a mosque or a synagog, they were handed out at a public school.
