They're probably anti-Christians.

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.

While the culture at Google is obviously not attractive to personalities with religious absolutes that are strong, oversimplified, and looking for a foe to demonize, I don't think that that automatically equates to being "anti-Christian"; any religious belief can be harmless, even positive, so long as it sustains the believer(s) without infringing upon anybody else.

The problems begin when large numbers coalesce around a single value system -- and start looking for the means to impose it upon those who don't go along with the "official wisdom".

And the embrace of issues which are difficult to promote by purely scientific means (I. E: climate change) but taken up by media such as MSNBC demonstrates that the techies are not immune to this pattern.

Maybe because they're a tech company, and tech is science. There is no place for mythology in science.

Bunny rabbits and colored eggs are not exactly religious.
