Well,if that is your argument - why bother holding such events around the so-called Easter period at all? Furthermore, what is the significance of the chocolate being egg shaped if it has bugger all to do with the supposed rebirth of Christ?
Easter, much like Christmas, has become a big song and dance popular with children and families of all and no faith but there would be no song and dance of any description during those particular times of the year without Christianity and the Bible.
For what it's worth, I'm not religious and I am guilty of 'celebrating' the holidays without thinking about their true meaning but I am just tired of not being able to call a spade a spade anymore. It is the Easter holiday and they are Easter eggs, whether you want to scoff a load and stick two fingers up to the meaning behind it is your prerogative but don't alienate and offend those who actually are true Christians by painting over any mention of the word Easter.

Think you'll find those times were celebrated far earlier than Christianity and the Bible. Christianity just reused then pagan festivals.
Also if you look at that link, you'll see at least 5 mentions of Easter.
This furore is ridiculous and just fuelled by the divisive tabloid press.

Christmas is certainly at risk, most institutions including schools refer to it as the 'winter festival' now. Most schools have done away with nativity plays to appease all.

So you've been round all schools and checked, or did it just say something similar in the daily mail....?
Personally think religion should have no place in schools apart from in RE, so kids can make an objective choice on whether it's something they want in their lives.

Easter is just another festival hijacked by Christians. It was originally an Anglo Saxon festival, long before Jesus came on the scene, and is named after the Germanic goddess Oestra, and yes @b&ab lady, there was a song at dance at these times of year without Christianity. The egg is a symbol of rebirth, but it was originally to do with the rebirth of the year in Spring after the dark days of winter. Certainly there is no mention of eggs (chocolate or otherwise) in the bible, and they have no significance to Christianity, so why all the fuss about a 21st century chocolate maker not printing the word Easter on their chocolate eggs? It's pathetic.

In amongst all the rabid, Daily Mail froth, did nobody realise this is about advertising and not secularism? They didn't "drop" the Easter because they were worried about offending people, they dropped it because they wanted to call it the Cadbury's Egg Hunt, giving greater prominence to the brand name. The only relevant threat to Christmas is it being re-branded the Coca-Cola Winter Festival (So probably in 2018).

How many nations have completely lost their identity thanks to Christian missionaries with their whips and bibles? These nations were forced to accept it - regardless. It was bow to the white man, do as he commands and accept Christianity - or be punished/killed.
I think Christians referred to it as 'civilizing the savages'. I call it wicked and evil.

One of those nations you're referring to is Britain, christians also "civilised the savages" here.
