	Description:		Easter is upon New Zealand again - one of two religious events that are recognised as national public holidays. That’s despite census data showing a growing number of New Zealanders do not identify with any organised religion. So should the whole country still be celebrating holidays associated with one religious group? Today, Reverend Frank Ritchie, host of Newstalk ZB’s Sunday at Six and the lead chaplain at Media Chaplaincy, joins Damien to discuss religion's place in 2022 and if the whole country should still celebrate Easter.
