Well, actually, these FRC types probably don't have a lot of crucifixes. They're predominantly Protestant, and crucifixes aren't their thing. (Alas, many of them think that the Catholic church is nothing less than the seat of the antichrist. Maybe not as widespread a belief as it used to be, but I still hear it often enough here in the South.)
It's scary to think that anyone takes this nonsense seriously, but these scare tactics really work. A lot of people in my family and circle of friends have started to parrot religious right talking points at me lately as though they are true, and they won't listen to my (hopefully reasonable) answers, because I'm a non-believer, so how could I possibly know. Grrrr....
