can they ban you for wearing a necklace with a cross? or a scarf around your head? This is madness, what bad does it do to other people, this is like banning lgbtq people from kissing outside cause it makes others uncomfortable.
No they can not ban you, but they can ban your cross.
If you can't live without your cross, that is on you.
thing is most peoplenIknoew, when they wear a cross or smt, it's not even a big deal for them, theyre just just wearing, doesn't mean they are going to siddenly start talking to you about religion.
Those people aren't the problem. The people who can't even take that little step of taking the cross off are the problem. Religion should be kept out of matters of state.
Demanding someone remove jewelry because you don't approve of its religious connotations is not secularism. It's the opposite.
If religion is kept out of matters of state, state needs to be blind to religion, not zealously purging all signs of it.
Just wear it under your shirt.
