Actor James Woods took a swipe at Google on Twitter after the tech company failed to create a Google Doodle on its site last Easter Sunday, and he's not alone in observing that the site failed to commemorate the religious holiday.

A Twitter user also noticed and wondered why there was a lack of Easter Sunday doodle on the search engine's front page when Google usually uploads doodles for many events, including the most obscure occasions that many would not even know about.

Woods replied, "They loathe Christians. Plain and simple."

A poll that senior columnist and lawyer Kurt Schlichter carried out on Twitter also revealed that 72 percent of respondents believe Google hates Christians for ignoring Easter. Twenty percent linked the controversy to Trump's plan for another term in 2020, which was one of only three questions in the poll.

Google has not done a doodle for Easter Sunday for 18 years. Its last Easter image was published on the site on April 23, 2000 where an Easter chocolate egg replaced the O in its name, according to Fox News.

Thousands of Americans and billions of people all over the world celebrate Easter Sunday, and although Google has created doodles for Christmas, St. Patrick's Day, and Thanksgiving among dozens of other such events, Google has refused to mark Easter in any significant way.

Some users also revealed that Google had placed graphics and decorations on its front page during Ramadan, the Muslim religious holiday.

But in response to the lack of Easter Sunday Google Doodle, the company described that it does not create doodles for religious celebrations, justifying that its Christmas doodle was in fact a "December Holiday" doodle, as Christmas had "grown out" of being just a religious holiday.

The statement said, "We don't have Doodles for religious holidays, in line with our current Doodle guidelines. Doodles may appear for some non-religious celebrations that have grown out of religious holidays, such as Valentine's Day, Holi's Festival of Colors, Tu B'Av and the December holiday period, but we don't include religious imagery or symbolism as part of these."

Google Doodles are temporary graphic changes to the search engine's logo. Apart from holidays, the site also commemorates anniversaries or birthdays of selected famous pioneers, scientists and artists.
