But Easter is ever so pagan.

Yes and no. You can find something pagan behind or underneath it if you dig deep enough, as you can (perhaps) with Guy Fawkes' Night (never heard of a Halloween bonfire). But it's been Christian, as has All Hallows' Eve, for a very long time - far too long for any of the pagan content to have survived in any meaningful sense.
