I’m not a Christian, but I’ve always thought the nativity star was a greater symbol of hope than the cross.
I understand the meaning of the cross is to remind people the messiah died for the sins of others. But a message of hope, love, virtue and peace match a star heralding a new beginning, rather than a dying man on a cross.
Just an opinion. Not a criticism.

I read a fantasy story that had a sect that was very obviously a stand in for Christians. In this story the messiah was stoned to death so his followers wear a pebble around heir neck.
I think it was a deliberate statement of how it is weird to wear the torture device that your god was executed with.
