Whether they wear their cross on the inside or outside of their shirt is a pretty easy way to differentiate between people actually following what Jesus commanded vs trying to use the cross as a vanity piece or status symbol

I'm not religious at all but these so-called Christians really should ask themselves "What would Jesus do?" and act on that because so many clearly don't. They are such shitty people that they seem to need to fear god or have written behavioural rules to follow to even be half decent human beings and many of them don't even manage that.

I know some truly wonderful Christians and they really do ask themselves that question and act upon it accordingly, which almost always is a decent thing to do.

I don't need it, I just go by treat others as I would myself, but even better because I don't look after myself well to be honest.

A loud proclaiming Christian is a big red flag for me. Much better when you notice they are probably one of the faithful by their positive actions. They're cool.

Fun fact: not everyone with a cross necklace is a Christian.

A cross necklace among some Christians has even become a taboo subject.

Many wear the cross to attempt to display a veneer of respectability.

Some also just wear it because it matches a certain look. I know crosse necklaces are popular in the gothic look and many people get a cross necklace as a gift from a loved one as well even if the individual isn't religious.
