    There are tens of thousands (probably hundreds of thousands over the whole world) of people who got sexually harrassed by catholic personel. I think for them and their families a cross has quite strong “predatory connotations” and makes them “fear for the savety of their (or their children)”

      So we should ban all displays of religion in public and at the workplace because of the actions of vile clergymen? I agree that religious symbols can be a trigger to people who have been subjected to harrassment and assault in a religious context. But I haven’t heard these people talk about a ban on religious symbols in general.
