You pretty much gotta decide on a case by case basis, even using my example of t-shirts:
I've seen a short that reads "I'm awake and I'm wearing pants, what the fuck else do ya want?"
This is appropriate to wear at home or any gathering of friends, even in public but, expect some people to be somewhat turned off by your display as that's the grey area. This shirt however might get you turned down from entering, say a kids birthday party where the main attendance is children, or a school.
Even a shirt with a big cross on it, theres no foul language, nobody is going to get converted by the shirt or anything. Even if a guy with that shirt walked into a secular student club. He could be a smartass atheist, a theist who is losing faith or a theist there for other reasons (simply to watch, stir up trouble, accuse).
I think the easiest way to generalise, and this rule should be bent to fit the circumstance, is to say 'Religious symbols, including symbols of non-faith are acceptable, as is discussion of religion and theology in any location where it would be appropriate to post your other personal beleifs, such as political alignment, sexual orientation or whether you support the Horde or the Alliance.
