Halloween, Fundamentalists and Symbols

Why do fundamentalists insist the symbols of the Catholic Church ‘mean nothing’, ‘have no power’,

yet insist the symbols of Halloween DO have meaning and power?

For example, here are some quotes from fundamentalists:

Quote:
JACK-O’-LANTERN… the origin of the jack-o’-lantern is much more sinister. It arrives from the Druid’s ghastly reverence of the severed human head!

MASKS & COSTUMES Masks are contacts to the spirit world to invite the spirit to “possess” them.

BAT: "One of the animal shapes commonly used by these demons

APPLES: "The practice of bobbing for apples at a Halloween party comes form our Pagan ancestors, who highly valued apple magick

SKULL: “An interesting symbol, the skull . . . It is prominent in Witchcraft and Demon worship as a celebration of death.”
All these quotes come from a tract called 'Halloween, a Covenant with Death and Hell".

If you follow the logic here, they believe Catholic symbols and Sacraments, which come from God, have no power. Yet they insist these symbols, which they say come from the devil, DO have power.
Can any explain this contriction?
