    Northwestern part of the USA. I just don’t spend time around religious people I guess.

      Me neither, but it’s just a culturally significant thing in Finland so you’ll see it in calendars, you realize it from getting a holiday from work/school, it’s mentioned casually in media a lot (traffic news, weather talking about “Easter weekend’s” weather) and so on. I would’ve imagined it was prominent enough in the US that it’d be hard not to notice.

        I live in one of the more secular cities so it doesn’t really get talked about so much in daily life. I am thankful for it.

        Right? Even here in Czechia, which is like in the TOP 3 most atheistic countries in the world, everyone knows it’s Easter. And no one has a problem with it (nor with Christmas), everyone accepts is as part of cultural heritage. Some people in this thread have such a weird take.
