Apparently, you are not aware that Easter Sunday and Good Friday are not Federal holidays. Christmas Day is, of course, but it's not going anywhere.
Federal employees already have sufficient leave to be able to take their religious holiday off. But if it's important to take something away then take away President's Day and MLKJ Day to make your two flex days.
