3. I'd vote for Christmas

Easter is a holiday you can more or less ignore if you're not Christian. It's not possible to ignore Christmas. (Believe me, I've tried. Christmas has become more ingrained in the society, and lots of non-Christians celebrate Christmas.

To me, the non-Christian symbols of holidays (fir trees, wrapped packages, dyed eggs, bunnies) are less "religious," and I feel more comfortable decorating with them than creches and crucifixes. I don't feel horrible about using them at work, where we have a very diverse group of people.

All that's a long-winded way of saying I don't see anything awful about an Easter egg hunt.

As to the OP, that man is either stupid, ignorant, or lying. Or all three.
