Not necessarily. For instance, I know some local goths who aren't religious, but who wear crosses just because they find them attractive.

No, if you watch actors and various artists you will see them sporting a cross. While I am sure there are those in these occupations that are genuine Christians others are just wearing a chunk of metal.
Of course the same could be said of those that are in Church and even some that pray and believe in God. Even the Devil believes in God.
I know some will say this is judgmental, perhaps it is. Perhaps it is calling something what it is. Besides, those people that quote the "judge not" verse forget to finish reading the rest of the sentence.

No- I wear a picture of Radha And Krishna I don't like to keep the son of God hanging on the Cross, it is mean. He never said he died for our sins Man did - He said "Go and Sin no more." For the original teachings of Jesus before king Constantine changed so many things google gospelofthenazirenes.com The Truth will set you free.

It depends on the person -- but no, I don't think that ALL people who wear crosses on necklaces are religious.
When I lived in Japan, I saw a lot of people (usually women) wearing them, even though they were not even Christian.

No, some people just like the aesthetics.
I once saw a bumper sticker that said "The cross is about Jesus, not jewlry." For once, I had to agree with the Christians on that. I think it's ridiculous to wear a religous symbol that one doesn't believe in. It's like wearing a t-shirt for a rock band you don't listen to.

I would say some are but definitely not all are religious...Some people just like the cross as a symbol while others use it as a symbol of their faith

Symbols are worn to remember the great deeds of the Saviour. But not all know that. A few who know that wears them to remember their Saviour.
But for the ignorant its just a fashion.

Well... you brought up a good point. I know tons of people who wear crosses who are very good and decent people, then I see people wearing crosses who are very violent and generally un-christian in their day to day lives.

Yes, only True Christians™ are allowed to purchase or possess a cross or the Jesus Fish Bumper Bling®.
