Since several main Christian denominations (including Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons) reject the cross, care should especially be used not to show this symbol in combination with
denomination
jehovahs_witness
denomination
mormon
denomination
la_luz_del_mundo
and
denomination
iglesia_ni_cristo
. Many other denominations, while not rejecting the cross, do not use it in worship, so a more generic symbol may be appropriate depending on audience. As such, instead of being used by default, this symbol could instead be reserved for denominations which strongly identify with the cross such as Catholic and Orthodox denominations. Protestant denominations also generally use the cross but prefer an empty (outlined) cross rather than a solid (filled) one.
