It looks like someone needs to be quiet and stop being judgmental about worshiping the risen Christ.

A symbol means whatever the people using it decide it means. That some other group somewhere else in history might have the same kind of a symbol of something else does not transfer its meaning to your symbol. The Christian faith has used the symbol of the rainbow for 2000 years (and the Jewish faith another 2000 before that.) But when the "Gay Pride" movement picked that as their symbol, they were not celebrating Christian concepts with it.
Christians celebrate the Resurrection of Christ from death. That the event happens fall near the solar equinox has nothing to do with the Christian celebration. The day on which Christ rose is going to be the same or near some other celebration no matter what day of the year it had come on. Every day has something celebrated on it.
That the Christian faith would use symbol of rebirth (like flowers) and new birth (like baby rabbits) does not mean they are embracing pagan rituals. Any more than the gay Pride movement is embracing Christian rituals with their rainbow symbol.
That we refer to that time as "easter" does not embrace pagan rituals any more than our referring to this month as "January" or this day of the week as "friday" means that Christians are celebrating pagan god. It just means we are using the common names even to the month, the day and the time of year.
