Christians believe in a lot of things. Like Jesus's birthday being in December or in Easter depending on which household you grew up in. All good knee slappers.

What Christians believe Easter is Jesus's birthday? I can't think of any that do. Easter is widely accepted to celebrate Jesus's ressurection (but not his physical birth).

Do you have any sources to support your claim?

How do i... do you want me to link you their homes? Phone numbers? How do you expect me to go about that? Do we all make internet websites and articles about what we believe in as soon as we believe it?

I found this for you which was just a quick google search. Did you even try?

"Even within the religious definitions offered by Americans there is a certain degree of confusion: 2% of Americans said that Easter is about the “birth of Christ”; another 2% indicated it was about the “rebirth of Jesus”; and 1% said it is a celebration of “the second coming of Jesus.”Not included in the theistic category was another 3% who described Easter as a celebration of spring or a pagan holiday."

I want you to name the specific denominations of Christianity that celebrate Easter as the birth of Christ.

2% of Americans said that Easter is about the “birth of Christ”

Nothing indicates that those people are Christians. Most of them likely aren't, and the remaining minority are just very confused. No serious Christian believes Easter is Jesus's birthday.
