Broken Cross
also called a Neronic Cross or a Stipe

The Broken Cross has Pagan roots, being the inverse of the Pythagorean symbol for life and Teutonic rune of death, and is vogue with Wiccans and Satanists. It can represent the antithesis of all that Christianity stands for.

Some see breaking a cross as a way to protest against Christianity.

The Broken Cross has been called a Neronic Cross or Nero's Cross in recognition of Nero's attempt to suppress the rise of Christianity (see St. Peter's Cross).


I had to crawl through some dodgy religious sites for that snippet. As a fervent athiest, I like the anti-christianity aspect. :)
