The state religion in Utah is not known for a fondness of the Christian cross...

Even atheists know very well that a cross is a traditional symbol to mark a grave. What's next, removing all the engraved crosses and Stars of David from the headstones at Arlington?

This is a Federal Appeals court ruling, not the state of Utah or Mormons. Why don't you research the religious affiliation of whoever made this ruling.

I don't know the religious makeup of the troopers that were killed, but I'd be willing to bet that at least one of them was Mormon. I don't recall any of the families or their church complaining about a cross being set up in their honor. Perhaps you can correct me if I'm wrong there.

It was a FEDERAL court, not a STATE court. Your predictable smear is irrelevant.
