Maybe some non-Christians feel uncomfortable living in a predominately Christian community and they feel intimidated seeing numerous small crosses.
I'm not Christian. My neighborhood growing up was mostly Christian. I'm personally not comfortable with the idea that a "Christian" feels that it's appropriate to knowingly make people feel uncomfortable by displaying their religion on their front lawn. I would feel the same if it were someone displaying a pagan symbol, or a church of satan symbol, or a Jewish symbol. I feel religion is, and should be, a private matter between you and your deity and your church, if you have one.

But if you want to insist that your white cross SHOULD be on your lawn, then I will challenge you to accept a pagan symbol, a church of satan symbol, and a Jewish symbol on mine. If you can't accept those, then take the cross off your lawn. If you can accept them, then it's all good.
