I don't disagree with all your comments. I don't think people should be forced to participate in Christian or any other religous traditions or ceremonies if they don't feel comfortable doing so.
For example when I was at school there were a couple of Jehovah Witnesses pupils who didn't attend school assembley because it contained religous songs and prays that didn't match their religion.
When it comes to seeing other religous symbols, personally I wouldn't be offended. I mean what is the difference between seeing a cross hanging somewhere, like a school, and walking past an identifiable religous building, which in effect is a religous symbol.
