Bah, I'm torn on this. I'm Jewish and don't celebrate Easter and only bought the items that could be used for other things (i.e. balloons, mushrooms, the egg car which didn't look very Easter-ish to me). I wouldn't be offended if more religious items were introduced like a cross (I can ignore them easily enough), but then FT does kind of open up a can of worms that there would be pressure to include other religious things as well (passover items, for example). FT is currently not devoid of religion with a church, nativity scene from Christmas, menorah from Hanukkah, etc. I think right now they're striking a nice balance....keeping things light and fun. I think if you want to leave religion out of FT completely, you'd have to get rid of all religious holiday decorations and that wouldn't be much fun. At the same time, there is a line where religion becomes more prominent in the game and I don't think FT should step over that line. Right now I think they are doing it just right.
