If you prefer to exercise your supposed "right of free speech", perhaps you should dress yourself up as a "little white cross", stand on your front porch and scream as loud as you're able ... "I am a little white cross".

Supreme Court disagrees with that conclusion. Have ruled that speech also includes things that do not have words. Flags are a prime example. Also signs and symbols. The KFC chicken bucket, Walmart's "*", and so on. Also ruled that the content of any type of speech cannot be used as a basis of any restriction, such as a political sign time limits.
There are additional restrictions where government cannot restrict religion.
So the white crosses are both religious, and a symbol. Any restrictions are illegal and unconstitutional.
Anyone who provides examples of similar things that "would you approve of
that" ... OR "if this is allowed, where does it end" ... Everybody has the constitutional right to freedom of speech. Those rights cannot be restricted or limited. If someone agreed to limits in the past that can be revoked at any time.
Disagree? Change the constitution. Until that happens, enjoy our freedoms.
