This is the latest from the various parts of the Christian church in their claims that Christianity is being marginalised in modern society, and a call to fight back against what church leaders call "militant secularisation and atheism".
Some religions, of course, require their followers to wear symbols (turbans, for instance), while others have become accepted as the norm but there is no requirement in the Bible for Christians to display their faith in this way.
And why would they? Do Christians really want to wear a badge that announces to the world that they are bigoted against homosexuals, or that their religion believes in the suppression of women?
I guess it will the rest of us to be able to identify those amongst us who believe superstitious mumbo jumbo instead of scientific fact. Indeed, why don't Christians just wear a dunce's cap instead of a cross?
Cardinal O'Brien will point out that a small lapel cross costs less than an Easter egg. Is that the motivation for his idiotic outcry? It's a way of flogging more Jesus merchandise and add to the, already obscene, amounts of money the tax evading church has?
