I wear an ankh, I have since my sophomore or junior year in high school. It represents life, how can you not believe in that?
But in general, I really can't see any reason why somebody should be offended by another wearing the symbol of their religion unless that person is degrading the symbol. Though I don't personally wear any other symbols besides the ankh, I would hope that nobody would be upset with me if I chose to. I believe in the acceptance of religion just as much as the acceptance not to believe in anything and everything in between.
How could somebody be offended if I wore the symbol with an open mind about the religion?
