The symbol means something to a religious group different from yours, that it stands for evil in other religions is not coincidental but does not mean that it is not the symbol for their group. Just because you don't agree with it does not give it less of a right to be there My point stands.
As isolated symbols in the same property, I don't take issue with. But when one is already there and you put the other one right next to it, just seems like a sign of hate to me.
Why? What would the Abrahamic faiths be if not in reference to those other religions they hated in ancient times and literally demonized? Have you ever looked up the sources of some of the names of demons in the Bible?
