Ignorance is...

Apparently only 22% of people know that Easter is about Jesus.

At least, that's what the article says. If you look at the actual questions that got that result, it's clear that only 22% of the population _care_ about Jesus and his relationship with The Easter Bunny.

I doubt it would be abolished, not least of all because I doubt bankers want to work any longer than the rest of us. Other countries have public (bank) holidays to celebrate non-religious events. It would probably be a good thing if we did likewise. Who knows, it may even encourage people to learn a little about our history.
