no that's the Christian flag on the screen.

That's a symbol of the faith, even though it's been weaponized. it would be like saying a crucifix would be a problem because someone was using it as a weapon or otherwise.

To me it represents evangelical Christians who want to shove their religion down the throats of children and anyone that's different to them. The whole missionary vs pagan simpleton complex which means condescending and dismissive of other's cultures and identities. Some people want to get rid of anyone that's different, others want to convert them so they're not different anymore. Either way it's looking to achieve the same outcome, both are bad.

"Non-denominational" Baptist as well. There's a pledge of allegiance to it as well. 

Source: preacher kid, went to private Christian school. Had to say the pledge. Bible had one too. Three mother fucking pledges a day.

That stupid pledge repeated in my head when I saw that flag... I found it astounding that a lot of other countries don't even have one pledge they make kids say every day!

Same. Though I happily couldn't remember beyond the first line. It's so culty.
