My subsequent swipe at Christianity as a 'Middle-Eastern death cult' was just a bit unkind, but IMO was forgivable because it was also witty.

It's substantiable, see e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_controversy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crucifix Some millenarians don't celebrate Easter at all, but they're predicting the death of *everybody* Real Soon Now, so AFAICT the label still holds, by a different route. (I'm not bothering to substantiate the "Middle-Eastern" part; that should be self-evident.)
