That’s the first I’ve heard that the Union Jack or any part of it is a Christian cross. Proportions all seem wrong for that.

I agree with the point about state religion though.

The Union Jack comprises the cross of St George, the cross of St Andrew and the cross of the St Patrick. It's nothing but Christian crosses.

It’s St. George’s Cross and a symbol of the Crusades. The Union Jack is a combination of flags. England is its own country among the UK, remember.
