Please don't construe this as debate I just need to offer on element of correction. Luther did not remove the Corpus from the crucifix! Lutherans are definitely crucifix people! I wear a crucifix just about exclusively (for reasons similar to yours). Also...
here is a picture of my wedding ring...(modeled after Martin Luther's wedding ring) it also has a crucifix on it. I have a beautiful large (over 3 feet) 80+ year old
Christus Rex crucifix above our fireplace mantel. I don' t know the exact numbers but a large number of Lutheran churches have crucifixes over the altar instead of a plain cross.
I don't know which group was the first to prefer the plain cross over the crucifix, but it wasn't the Lutherans of the Reformation. Now some modern day Lutherans can be seen as Romophobic but their opinions would not necessarily be representative of confessional Lutherans.
Peace
