Show me on the deed restrictions, where it says, “No little white crosses”.

Crosses of many sizes and colors have been used as a symbol of Christianity since the second century CE (aka AD). It became commonly used in the fourth century CE.
This is because Jesus was executed by the Romans in a cross, called crucifixion.

It is just as stupid to say it represents nationalism or such as it is to say the OK symbol, made with your hand, represents white power.

Read your deed restrictions. Mine prohibit lawn ornaments except for seasonal displays which are limited in how long they may remain.

A little white cross for 30 days at Christmas would be okay.

An inflatable reindeer left up year round would be a prohibited lawn ornament.

1. someone buried a pet immediately in front of or behind the cross.
2. "a Christian lives in the house and they want to make sure everyone knows it, because they lack the confidence in their own faith to live it rather than advertise it."
3. the person in the house is a White Christian Nationalist (modern terminology for evangelical bigot).
4. "someone who normally wouldn't put anything in that spot, but heard about how everyone hates Christians and put the cross there as a "neener neener" rather than any expression of their devotion to their god."

Little white crosses aren't religious, it's politics disguised as religion.

Sompeople with a US flag must also lack confidence in the US rather than live it, right?
Or a terrible towel hung up means they lack confidence in their team rather than live it?

Reduction to absurdity, one of Aristotle's favorite tactics. Since those results are absurd, the logic used must absurd.

Proper logic says they are displaying the crosses to show devotion to the ideas the crosses represent. Just like the US flag and the terrible towel.
