I personally love Halloween and I'm glad that the religious purpose has been forgotten. Sweets, ghost stories, parties, costumes, campy horror movies - what's not to love? When I was a kid I even loved the excitement of the satanic cult scare of the 80's.
Come on, Harry. What's wrong with a holiday that is bereft of anything but fun? A younger version of me would make a point to toilet paper your house on Halloween.
