Christ has truly risen
I give you the traditional response to your traditional Easter greeting.
I'm always reminded
Of the radio newscaster, many years ago, who destroyed his career by leading off his Easter morning newscast with the following: "All over the world, millions of Christians are celebrating the alleged resurrection of Jesus Christ . . . ."

I thought overt religion wasn't allowed on here (or politics)
And no he didn't :)
Is the idea of religion so threatening to you?
I support the rights of others to live their lives.
I also support the right of choice of the others...
... but yes, the idea of religion can be threatening to me in one case.
This is the case when a religious person would do bad things if told that their deity/deities require that.
Religion can protect against that, but also can enable it. It depends on the specific person how they will understand it in this aspect. Unhappily, there is a significant number of religious people that can be convinced that something is done for some Greater Good. For example, denying trans kids the opportunity to get a gender affirmation, in order to save them from a Hell.
So I have came to the idea that having a religion is a tiny bit like having a car. If you don't know how to drive it in order to be safe for yourself and the others around, having a car is not a good idea.

As far as I understand the rules for this site, what is not allowed here is the overt proselytizing for a specific religion or political philosophy/party/system. But expressing ones belief system in a factual manner for oneself is allowed. Though attacking someone else for their factual expression of their own religion or political view is definitely a violation of the rules.
What all three rules together condense down to, is summarized in the following statement:
I believe that Snowfall in chapter 21 of her novel The Station's Late Nite Princess has given us a very easy to understand summary of freedom from religion:
