The New Church Hall in Hartford

While i have no problem spending £2 million on a new church hall (that is three times the size of the old one) i do have a problem with the very large wooden crucifix that hangs outside the church hall enterance with the words ' For You ' on it.
INSERT PIC
The words give the impression that the church is telling me that Jesus died for me, but why should I have this message pushed in my face whenever i decide to leave my house. it is of my opnion that Jesus never existed, nor do i believe in any religion, although i do understand alot of people do believe.I think it is wrong that the church in Hartford advertises faith in this way. I grew up attending a catholic church, and that church would never have any religious symbol in view of passers by, let alone a message like the one in Hartford.
When i thought about this, i began to think about advertisment posters in general for example shampoo. Can the church not see that it is cheapening its religeion and trying to sell it like a product rather than a faith.
In many ways I understand that a Church is a buisiness as it relies on money to stay open however i disagree with the way that it is brainwashing the public, new innovative ideas need to happen to change the brainwashing.
