New here- just joined so apologies if this has been addressed before but I get so sick of everyone assuming everyone is Christian. Whenever someone wishes me Happy Easter I respond "well I'm not a Christian, but I appreciate the good wishes."

I generally don’t mention to Christians that I’m atheist. Quite pointless to argue with them.

How do you feel about people that wish you a Merry Christmas. There are plenty of atheists that celebrate Christmas as well as Easter.

Plenty of people are merely "Culturally" Christian and celebrate secularly. I don't think there's necessarily an implication of actual Christianity.

Wow , accused of being a Christian.This must be so traumatic for you . My condolences .Give me a break !

I do not get sick of it at all .When people wish you a happy Easter they are probably not even thinking of the religious connotations connected to it .

Does the Easter bunny believe in god

If the Easter bunny says happy Easter he probably says the same thing LOL

Who cares , big deal they said happy Easter .As a nonbeliever I would never dream of saying I am not a Christian to a person who was just being nice to me .

Welcome to the community.

It reminds me that “Easter” is taken from the Teutonic goddess of fertility and spring – Eostre, hence oestrus, though I guess many Christians conveniently forget that aspect.

HI and welcome. I think that is a good response. Yes, the assumption is annoying to me too.

How about this one.

In my dreams I always see Jesus holding the Easter Bunny and the Bunny has his basket. They are both waving at me.

Most likely they will comment on how weird you are and you can then cut loose on them with enough facts to make any believer cry.
