It is a strawman argument to worry whether any possible symbol of any possible religion can be shown in public.

Call it what you like, but my posting which you got started on was in response to tejek, who wrote:

"The cross shouldn't have been there in the first place."

The cross is to Los Angeles as the Liberty Bell is to Philadelphia. Each evokes the Creator in its own way.

Declaring a specific religion to be common heritage is one of the areas the government should stay out of.

One more thing: I referred to depictions of a "collective history" not declarations of a "common heritage". For example, slavery is part of the collective history of the U. S., but no longer part of any common heritage.
