Answer:
Ok...I swear I don't use the word G word but it is a relegious thing, just not Christian relegious thing. When Christianity was sweeping through Europe via Roman influence, I believe about 500 years after the death of Christ, many Pagans, which was the dominant relegion in Europe at the time, held on to their traditions. That part of the world was a relegious melting pot then, Ostara, the Pagan holdiday that falls on March 21st is close to the Christian Easter. The two holidays became intertwined. As for the eggs and the bunnies, well, Ostara is the spring time holiday. Thus new birth. Thus fertility. Thus eggs...and bunnies...cause ya know...oh go ask your mom! :)

The Easter Bunny is a mutation of an old Germanic myth regarding a magical Hare that the goddess Eostre (whom Easter is named after) had who had the ability to lay special eggs for the children one day a year, on the Spring Equinox. Long story short, the Germanic converts to Christianity brought this legend with them, and eventually the colored eggs that Used to be done to celebrate the equinox became chocolate eggs that where hidden then consumed. The date was also changed from the Equinox to Paschal(Easter). Long story short and, sorry, there is some religion involved here, but not the 'god' you seem to refer to.

Because easter is symbolic of birth and renewal. Since birds lay eggs and rabbits and hares give birth to large litters in the early spring, these became symbols of the rising fertility rates at spring time and easter.

because easter is all about Jesus Bunny! doesn't everyone know the Jesus Bunny story? Jesus Bunny was an ugly bunny that all of the other bunnies made fun of, and when he grew up he started laying eggs. the jewish bunnies freaked out about that because bunnies aren't supposed to lay eggs, and why doesn't Jesus play by the rules? but Jesus didn't play by the rules, so the jewish bunnies killed Jesus Bunny is the most horrible way they could think of at the moment. so today we eat chocolate bunny eggs to remember how awesome Jesus was for not playing by the rules. and they're chocolate 'cause it tastes better than eggs or rabbit meat.
