Well I mean egg hunts are really very pagan. That's one of the reasons the spring tradition has been claimed by the church. Like the Winter Solstice/Christmas yule trees.

Yep. These traditions are not at all rooted in the writings of the Bible. They were indoctrinated into Christendom from pagan rituals. Likely to show the pagans that they were similar. Kind of like how Constantine picked December 25 as the birth of Jesus. Pagans used the same time period as the birth of their “sun god” Saturnalia.

this fact lends itself to the mildly interestingness I think.

No disagreement. It def. odd the Scientologist would get involved.
