I'm a Christian, and always have a lot of fun on Halloween. My church doesn't have a problem with celebrating Halloween. I agree that some people do take it far more seriously than it's intended to be.

I am a "religious person" -actually I am even a Baptist (gasp) and I do believe that people take it too seriously. It is what you make it. We don't go out and celebrate Satan's birthday, for pete's sake, we just let our girls go door to door dressed like princesses or whatever and get candy. I think there are much bigger issues out there than this for so -called "religious" people to worry about. Most of the people in my church feel the same way- but there will always be the ones who don't. That is their opinion and they are allowed to have it, I guess.

I'm not sure what you mean by too seriously. You can never take Halloween too seriously. It's the best holiday of the year. In fact, it's literally the best thing to ever happen to humanity.

Luke 10:18
And He said to them, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven."
There are two ways of looking at Halloween. Sure, from a Christian
perspective it's not especially great to have the kidlets dressing up as
the devil and whatnot. On the other hand, look at it from the devil's
perspective. You revolted against God and fell from heaven in this
primordial struggle against God Almighty Himself. In your titanic pride you
had high hopes of establishing yourself supreme in the universe. You
committed your greatest act of terrorism against God when you convinced His
own precious Adam and Eve to revolt against Him. You brought death
into the human race and you thought you had it made when God, as it
appeared to you, insanely chose to become human. On Good Friday you finally
had Him in your hand and you killed Him with all the savagery your
fallen angelic mind could invent. And now, for two thousand years, you've
been watching your revolt crumble as the Risen One turned all your
schemes into life for your victims and mockery for you. Now, so far from
ruling the universe, your face is on some stupid mask worn by a
6-year-old and the creatures you hoped to destroy are writing meditations
like this one to pull your pointy nose and remind you that the Christ you
killed has defeated you utterly.
Memo to Satan: Happy Halloween, loser!

Yes, they do, calling it "satan's birthday" and "the devil's night out," etc. It gets irritating.
