About Religious Symbols and 'Separation of Church and state'
#3
RE: About Religious Symbols and 'Seperation of Church and state'
Yes. So what I wonder is in that case, places where they are inappropriate - is there really any place where they would be inappropriate but other unlrelated symbols wouldn't, or graffiti wouldn't?

Should the fact it's to do with religion or absence of religion really matter? Shouldn't it just be treated like any other symbol? If people have problems with 'religion' or lack there of then shouldn't that be their own problem?

Because as you say - of course, the symbols themselves are not the problem. It's the reaction that matters.

As I said, even with the Swastika...objectively speaking there are no 'evil symbols' there are only symbols of evil. Because there is objectively no 'evil force' in the world. No evidence for that.
