A draft law introduced on Wednesday seeks to protect the country's "cultural roots" by promoting "traditional" Christmas and Easter celebrations.

Shouldn’t they go back to worshipping the Roman gods in that case?

Fascism isn't about logic or argument though; it's about constantly defining and redefining the characteristics of the in-group so you can blame, persecute and kill those you exclude from it.

And trying to go back to a time of glory that never really existed in the first place

The Roman empire had at least 7 fictional dying-and-rising gods, Jesus was only one of them. How about a display to Osiris, he was the god of multiple stuff including agriculture. Aren't crops more important than just about anything else? I demand an Osiris nativity scene!
