Is there some reason why there would not be a statue in a Baptist Church? I’m not familiar with the various Baptist denominations, much less all.of the other various Christian denominations. Does the theology discourage or prohibit such displays? Most believe it violates the commandment not to have any graven images.

The commandment is for תְּמוּנָה (temunah,ie., likeness, form, picture) and פֶּ֫סֶל (idol, ie., worshiping the likeness of man or animal as a false god). If one does not believe Jesus is God, or is trying to worship Mary or the Saints as God, then I can see their problem.
