My humour / sarcasm detector is failing to pick up anything here, so 
I'm presuming you were being serious in this post (Well the "No religon 
on the list bit").

The only reference to anything remotely religious I can find in 
Russell's post was the word "holy" and "prayers". Holy in this post 
would be with the meaning "venerated as or as if sacred".

So I'm going to presume you're under the impression ANZAC day is some 
Australian/New Zealand religious holiday. And uh... it's not. ANZAC is 
an acronym for "Australian and New Zealand Army Corps". ANZAC day is a 
day of thanks / remembrance for those who serve(d) in the armed forces 
in Australia/New Zealand. However there are also ceremonies at 
Gallipoli. It stems from April 25th 1915 when 17,000 ANZACs landed on Z
-beach on the Gallipoli Peninsular as part of a combined offensive to 
secure the Dardanelles Straits for a naval assault on Constantinople. 
It resulted in a loss of ~2,000 ANZACs on the first day and ~10,000 by 
the end of the Gallipoli campaign.
