But are the displaying of road-side crosses a clear advocation of a religion? Even if they are religious symbols (this is again completely dependent upon context, as symbols can carry multiple meanings), is the
display of a symbol always an endorsement?
Perhaps I am not being clear, but what I am attempting to suggest is that the interpretation of what does or does not "advocate" is not clear, especially in this case where crosses are very commonly used as memorial markers not intended to convey any religious meaning.
