All Hallows Eve is a Christian holy day is it not?

makes no sense; HE is talking about someone shoving beliefs down another’s throat, in relation to a discussion forum, in relation to a post on a discussion forum, a forum where you post your opinions and beliefs- so presumably his issue is with anyone of a Christian background doing so./

Not once have you called it by it's real name? All Hallows Eve...
All Hallows' Eve falls on 31st October each year, and is the day before All Hallows' Day, also known as All Saints' Day in the Christian calendar. The Church traditionally held a vigil on All Hallows' Eve when worshippers would prepare themselves with prayers and fasting prior to the feast day itself.
The name derives from the Old English 'hallowed' meaning holy or sanctified and is now usually contracted to the more familiar word Hallowe'en.

Christians are trinitarian as well...otherwise, whenever the ghost, Jesus, or "God" is mentioned, they would just designate all three with one of those titles and scrap the rest. But no, they insist on giving each on its own identity throughout the Bible.
Hence, trinitarian.

Do yourself a favor and look up something before you post it, you will therefore reduce your chance of looking like a fool.
All Hallows Eve
I was raised in a country that once was pretty much run by the Catholic church, we were forced to go to mass on All Hallows Eve when we were kids, then we could put our costumes on and go 'trick or treatin'.
