I don't think anyone is trying to stuff religion down anyone's throat.
When you are at a funeral, even a humanist one......does the religious symbolism of the cross really offend anyone?
And in the congregation there may be some who have no strong religious beliefs, but there mya be others who do have spiritual beliefs.......so who do you please?

My solution to those who feel the the religious symbol is not appropriate is simple, would cost very little and would be easy to maintain.
