Is Fashion Trivialising Religion?

 The Archbishop of Canterbury speaks out about the symbol of the Cross in the foreword of his new book. He says "Are we now living with a symbol emptied of power by time and fashion? Christianity with a powerless Cross is Christianity without a throne for Christ or an aspiration for Christians.A Cross that has no weight is not worth carrying."

Being a girl who calls herself more of "a spiritual atheist", I'm not the biggest fan of religion on the whole but I believe each to their own and no judgement made. However, it appears the Archbishop of Canterbury feels differently... In Ruth P. Rubinstein says in Dress Codes: "Within Western culture crosses and other religious jewellery have always offered a protective measure; they make the individual feel less accessible to harm."

Until hearing this statement, I was used to society's consistent judgement on what other people choose to wear, but this has enraged me. The Archbishop of Canterbury here is assuming that:
1. These people that choose to wear crosses aren't religious themselves
2. A symbol, such as the cross, that is used universally can somehow be restricted to people only worthy of its use, and that he has the right to tell people who is worthy.
