There are vast stretches of the country where you find many church buildings without a large belltower, steeple or cross. Probably has more to do with the "poverty" of the congregation that built what it could at the time and it just stayed that way, PLUS tornadoes and other highwinds.

The United States has more tornadic activity than the rest of the world combined and church steeples just don't stand up to it.

On the other hand I don't believe I've ever seen any sort of Protestant church without at least one cross inside. Just guessing the "expert" hasn't been inside many Protestant churches.

For every church without a cross, how many of their cemeteries do you imagine might also not have a crucifix on any of their headstones or graves?
