Think the problem is they perceive it as atheists pushing their agenda, as nobody can ban atheism from public office because it has no symbolism or rites or other stuff. So maybe they feel that no religious symbols is forcing atheism?
Which is an utter misrepresentation of the actual reasons. Then again, difference of opinion in what is a personal and public outing. And of course from the secular pov, a religious symbol is a form of promotion (and part of clergical agenda).
