The outcome, if I remember correctly, was that the removal of crosses could not be unforced due to religious feeedom or svonething along those lines. Can anybody confirm this.

I believe an exception was made for that one particular person. The thing about religious freedom is - you have to present evidence that your religion requires you to do a thing, before you try to hide behind religion as your excuse.
That was the reason for my previous post in this thread: show me in your bible where it says your religion requires you to place a white cross on your front lawn, and I will absolutely positively respect your right to do so.
But there is no such requirement in anyone's religion. And so - no. That particular activity would not be protected by the constitution.
Neither is putting a creche on your front yard during Christmas time. Or setting up a Christmas tree, or hanging eggs for Easter, or putting up a blow-up menorah for Chanukah, or any other of those things people do for holidays under the guise of "religious freedom."
