I’m an anti-theist and believe religion does untold damage to society. In my perfect world I’m completely for the removal of all religion iconography in publicly funded institutions. This includes clothing, jewellery, and gaudy John 3:16 t-shirts.
If it’s private, do whatever you want. If you want a grotesque image of your dead god on a cross hanging on your wall, you do you. I just don’t want to pay for that out of my tax dollars.
That said, I understand people wear a bunch of stupid shit for their gods, and that is a freedom of expression that should be protected. If someone wears a magic cross, bulletproof underwear of protection, or has to hide their hair because their god hates hairdos, then whatever. That in itself probably isn’t going to hang black people, start an ethnic genocide, or fly planes into buildings.
As long as these religious kooks don’t spout their hateful superstitious bullshit to the kids, I’m fine with it.
