I can relate with you on this one. I wear a pentacle around my neck and it's either mistaken for the Star of David or Satanistic practices.
One rule I live by is: Do what you will and harm no one. I do not tell you what to wear/not wear, like/dislike, etc. Please don't feel that it is appropriate to have double standards.
A person should be allowed to wear what they choose, as long as they don't wear it in disrespect or mockery. The symbol may have sentimental value to them through family or friends...with my pentacle, I wear a small silver pair of feet (like little baby feet) which represents no religion, I wear it as a symbol to represent my son (adopted; age 4 mos; closed adoption till age 18) who means everything to me.
If the feet actually represented a religion, regardless if I was aware of it or not, I would be VERY offended if a person of said religion told me to take it OFF.
Think: "Who are you to judge me?" and "Let everyone here who is perfect and haven't ever made a mistake to point out/display mine."
