Well, not all religious meme are damaging. Someone is useful.

But the IRI fear enough the religious conversion out of Islam in its
population to propose a law to kill apostates (I don't know if the law
was approved or not). Anyway, already many converted to Christianity
(but probably to Zoroastrianism too) were imprisoned, tortured and
killed in Iran in the past. People usually convert in secret and keep
their conversion secret. So, maybe the cross could be revealing.

Anyway, Neda religion is unimportant. But a sniper could had choose
anyone else around her to shoot, male or female. Maybe a cross could be
the reason he decided to shoot her and not others.
