Crucifixes have nothing to do with Christianity... so I am okay with that.

I would have been ok with that as well ( Jud 11 ); however, look at the images. These appear to be crosses. Ac 11:26

[Crucifix vs cross] No difference in my book.

One is idolatry. The other is not. Ex 20:3-4

[Crucifix an idol Jud 11 ] No it's not...

 

Their jesus is still dead on the cross (Ps 42:2). He can do nothing for them.
