I'm all in favor of getting rid of Easter Sunday, Good Friday, and Christmas as federal holidays. Those are religious holidays and shouldn't be mandated as a paid day off for government employees or officials.
HOWEVER - I'm ALSO in favor of adding two PERSONAL RELIGIOUS days off to all federal employees -instead,- so that people of ALL faiths can be guaranteed that right to take their most holy/important day(s) off with pay, whether it's Christmas of Yom Kippur or the first day of Ramadan or the pagan Beltane afternoon, or the athiest "because everyone else gets their day off so this one's mine" day.
