1. I see more religious symbols in or on the grounds of religious
institutions. Always have. The "fish" symbol is still seen, but it isn't as common as it once was. And even in old graveyards, you rarely see cross shaped tombstones, at least in the Midwest. You do see weeping willows and hands pointing upwards on the older stones, though these are older religious symbols not often understood by the casual visitor to a cemetery.

SOOO many of them I see every day. But a close second are those stupid fish bumper stickers.

4. I agree with dubeskin
I don't understand the cross pendant on people who aren't very religious, nor the fish symbol on the SUV that just cut me off.

6. At church.
Or at my home altar. If you count every symbol in an icon, my church wins by far, unless you compare it to the huge cathedrals in Russia. Then, those would win.
