Thank you everyone for your feedback. We enjoy celebrating holidays at Google but, as you may imagine, it can be difficult for us to choose which events to highlight on our site each year. Sometimes for a given date we feature a historical event or influential figure that we haven't yet highlighted in the past.
What they actually mean (by a commenter on the site):

Because if they did a doodle for the religious festival of one faith and ignored others, it would just get people from those other faiths in here whining that their religion wasn't recognized. No matter what they decide to put a doodle up in honor of, there'll still be dozens of people in here complaining that Google didn't honor what they wanted.
Ultimately, much safer just to stay away from this sort of thing.
Easter is a religious holiday. I'm fine with no Easter doodle as long as Google applies the same rule to every other religious holiday, regardless of religion.
I would be fine with this, but I'm not sure Google will be impartial.
