Christmas and Easter were similar and successful efforts to trump pagan celebrations. The Church uses elements of the natural world to convey us to the supernatural. That is basically a definition of liturgy.

>to trump pagan celebrations

Is there a difference
between trumping pagans and
trivializing

Christianity
?
If it's all the same, just with
updated posters,

why should pagans change?
If religion's just "drama,"
then why should kids care?
