"even worse, in my humble opinion, is exposing the scared name and symbols of Christ to the elements by displaying them on bumper stickers and such."

Was Christ not exposed to the elements while he was on the cross?

Tattered, torn, beaten, mocked, bruised and bleeding.

I pledge allegiance to the Constitution of the United States of America, and to the Republic, of which it governs, one Nation, answering to God, with Liberty and Justice for all.

The flag is but a symbol.

Old glory was exposed to the elements in battle, but we honor the flag by displaying it in respectful fashion. If we do that much for the symbol of the nation, how much more should we do it for the symbol and actual name of the Almighty?

I know the religious bumper stickers are not meant disrespectfully, of course, but I think it's a crude use of the holy Name. Just my opinion.
