A seder is the retelling the story of the book of Exodus. Yes, there are distinctly Jewish elements (the Four Sons). But there is a worldwide and cross cultural implications: It is the story of freedom, the yearning for freedom and historical in that it discribes the growth of a group from paganism (worshipping the golden calf) to the understanding of one God.
It is considered a mitzvah (good deed) to invite anyone of any faith and background to a seder.
We went to a Catholic/Jewish wedding recently. It was held in a church with the Archbishop and a Rabbi officiating. (Yes, this had to be a very liberal church.) There was incense which I understand is rarely done. The Archbishop invited everyone up to take communion. A bit of an awkward moment. But it was very inclusive and that was nice.
