  Yes, there are people who are attached to the crucifixes and stuff because of "heritage". They do exist. Their heritage is just about as valuable as that southern US slaver heritage. Remember what you said about the Catholic church being oppressive? Well, was it or wasn't it?
  
  There are also damnsure people who are attached to the crucifixes for religions reasons. And if there were no such people, there wouldn't be enough of the "culture" people to keep the things on the walls.
  
  Furthermore, personally worn symbols of "active, personal faith" deserve a whole lot more leeway than government-endorsed expressions of attachment to either a religion OR a traditional heritage of religious oppression.
