The argument against Easter (Jesus isn't real) can be made the same way against Christmas.
So Easter then Christmas?
My counterargument would be that the secular footprint of Christmas is a zillion times larger than that of Easter. It involves, for many, at least one paid day off, if not two depending on how generous employers are with Christmas Eve. The big traditions - Christmas trees, gift giving, awesome outdoor decorations, feasting, etc. - have little on their face to do with the religious aspect of the holiday (at least some of them were stolen from the pagans) and exist just as well outside of any mention of religion. It's also become synonymous with themes like peace on Earth and goodwill toward all, the whole holiday spirit sort of thing, and that's something everybody can get behind. Noted Christmas historian Kermit T. Frog said it best:
I've been an atheist for a couple and a half decades, and I still love celebrating Christmas.

So Easter then Christmas?
I'd say the argument goes a bit deeper than that.
Christmas has an entire month, if not two months, dedicated to the festive season. People Christian or not decorate their houses with lights and shit. There are numerous classic songs that are decades old still sung to this day, not to mention an entire genre of films. Ugly sweaters and eggnog and even putting up a damn tree in your living room.
Easter aint like that. No songs. No films. Just a weird ass bunny and eggs.

Father's Day isn't so bad, but everyone's right, do we really need to celebrate patriarchs? Maybe if Father's Day was like an emotional rehab day or something. All i know is my step-dad never felt the need to celebrate it more than getting ice cream, and that suited us just fine.

No but we need to celebrate bad puns, white new balance sneakers w/ shin high socks, and beer guts.

I think I want to start a poll of “are you a dad and do you have a beer gut” because I’m guessing not a lot of you actually do! I mean, certainly not YOU, John Stamos!

We do this year round. It's called a family sitcom and it's ubiquitous.

I don’t drink much beer but I sometimes have a gut.

If a gut is only a sometimes gut, I don’t know how much it counts…

Easter has Russel Stover's cream eggs so it needs to survive. Cinco de mayo is just using a war in another country as a reason to drink beer and eat tacos. you don't need a special occasion to drink beer and eat tacos.
Right, it's a holiday based on a poet. It's literally an excuse to drink scotch. Every holiday is an excuse to eat burgers or watch horror movies or smoke weed or whatever. The question should be "which of these things is fun to celebrate" and not some weird vetting of how woke or unwoke the thought behind it is. Unless it's Hitler's birthday (which 4/20 is so I'm glad it went early).
