It certainly does make it part of our heritage if it was maintained as a symbol- everyone knows what it is and what it means. Symbols don't have to enoble- I don't think the cross, as a reminder of a guy nailed on it, is particularly enobling either. But some people find enoblement in the most interesting places. You feel about the flag of the confederacy exactly as I feel about crosses. Crosses aren't part of my heritage and they aren't noble- but it is something other people cling to, so they are a symbol of the countries heritage, as it pertains to some people, like the flag of the confederacy. Neither of those symbols ought to be in a courtroom where people of all denominations are required to come for justice. It isn't like you can opt out of a Christian symbolists court- and since there is compulsion to be there, NO religion.
