Sorry I should have clarified:
I do not car at all about the implied religious connotation(s)
I simply meant that Cruciform means having the shape of a cross, wheres as Crucifix means an image of one (usually, and most often specifically jesus, executed by means of crucifixion)
I was an English minor, again I am off the reservation, and pretty far into the Nerd Forrest I know, but poor writing is so commonplace and accepted, and said practice drives me into a semi homicidal/suicidal rage.
