Originally there was a harvest festival for the farmers and also a Thanksgiving day for the blessings from God for his provisions. Later the pagans and other people came up with Halloween....which is the eve of All Saints Day on November 1st. So Christians celebrate the harvest festival (Jews have a harvest feast too) and they avoid the commercialism, satanism, and the warlock and witch stuff of Halloween. The Catholics celebrate All Saints day too.
Being students of The Bible and generally a religious sort, they recognized that the
race is not necessarily always won by the swift, nor the fight by the strong. As a
primitive, unsophisticated culture, they were powerless to prevent concepts such as
resignation to bad luck and gratitude for good fortune from creeping into their
thinking. Children were taught, and adults continued the practice, of expressing
thankfulness for good health, sustenance, food, success, and survival in general,
as if these were more than simply human entitlements, and something instead
for which to be grateful toward something outside of oneself. The fact that you
now ask the reason for it shows how primitive and naive those attitudes were.
We should all feel lucky ... oops, there it is again ... that we've been able to shake off
these troublesome instincts, and not let them slow us down in the modern world.
Probably out of gratitude to their God or gods for providing harvest, also in hopes that by showing appreciation their deity(ies) would do it again next time, much like saying grace at the dinner table to thank one's deity for the food and one's blessings, just on a larger scale.
Imagine you've spent the year eating last year's harvest, while you worked hard to plant, weed and water this year's crop. Then, just as last year's harvest is almost entirely consumed, you go out in the fields for the back breaking labor of bringing in the crops and storing them. When you finish, your hard work is done for the season, and you see that you have enough to get through another year, it seems only natural to celebrate.

Most Christians celebrate a "Harvest Festival" in their churches at the end of the harvest season to thank God for his bounty and to celebrate the successful bringing in of the harvest. These celebrations may be followed by a "Harvest Supper'. Hindus celebrate "Pongal" in January each Year, the Jews "Sukkot" in September or October and the Buddhists celebrate Harvest Festivals at various times of the year depending on the country. Strangely, Muslims do not appear to have any specific festival to thank God for a bountiful harvest. "Thanksgiving" is often used in North America for the Christian Festival and in England sometimes one finds the old fashioned name of "Harvest Home".

No, not as such......it is not a "religious event/festival/day". However, after the harvest is safely gathered in, Christians do meet to thank God for what has been provided and to remember/help people that may be in need (the harvest is a time of plenty and the riches of the harvest need to be shared with others). This service is frequently called the "harvest festival". Different Christian communities will hold their thanksgiving service on different days (indeed those in the southern hemisphere will do this at different months of the year).
