No, Cadbury Hasn’t ‘Removed Easter’ From Easter Eggs.

No one's removing the word "Easter" from packaging, chocolate eggs have nothing to do with Christianity in any case, and some very sinister groups are trying to convince us all that Muslims are offended by much loved British traditions and trying to get them banned.

No, Cadbury Hasn’t ‘Removed Easter’ From Easter Eggs

Chocolate eggs have never been consistently labelled with the word ‘Easter’, so why does this claim keep resurfacing?

How does anyone live in the US or the UK as a Christian and manage to feel oppressed?

I say this as a Christian.

But then they think that the oppression is going to be something oblique and subtile? Which only shows a total lack of imagination or experience with religious oppression.

Which is happening now to Muslims and to Jewish people in both the US and UK.

Meanwhile I can start talking about Jesus at any moment and nobody cares.

@futurebird @afewbugs Projection, and I suspect some of that is appropriation directly from the Jewish community, at least in the US. I wonder at times if it was astroturfed in the US and exported to the UK via Murdoch media. I don’t think Christian oppression had been a dominant narrative for several centuries - except in missionary communities, which one will notice are a big deal in evangelicalism.
