I think it's a 16th-18 century slogan, seen on signs in pubs during the
turbulant religious and political times in England. It meant to prohibit
any talk of religion (cross) or of crown (politics), because they led to
brawls. In Teonaht it's
vo relik vo reik, no "relic, no crown."
Since it often leads to bad feeling here as well, this might be our motto.
:) On the other hand, I would hate to shut down talk of conculture
religions. Many of our invented peoples have religions. Kerno speakers
are I believe mostly Catholic, and the Teonim are largely Orthodox.
