No, I'm saying very specifically that unless your religion requires you to put a white cross on your lawn, then the placement of that cross on the front lawn, specifically, as opposed to any other color cross, anywhere else on your property, is NOT protected by "freedom of religion."
You can put that white cross on the doorpost of your house. You can put it in your back yard. You can put it anywhere inside your house and from what some posters claim here, in some of the villages, you can put it under the eaves of your domicile.
The excuse people use for putting them there is "my religion says I should display a cross." And maybe it does. But I've seen no religious text requiring that anyone display a WHITE cross, on the FRONT lawn.
