Bonfire Night? Is Guy Fawkes Day now politically incorrect?

Guy Fawkes day is labeled anti-Catholic by many apparently.

It actually makes more sense to call it bonfire night. Calling it Guy Fawkes makes it sound like a celebration of him while it’s actually the opposite and bonfires were lit as celebration that he failed.
