ELI5: How is burning crosses by KKK not considered blasphemy by them if they consider themselves Christian? What is their reasoning?

It's not that they're burning a cross, rather they're creating a fiery cross. This idea has a long history but it dates back to Scotland and Scandinavia, where a fiery cross was a declaration of war and a request for clan members to rally to defend the land.

The KKK continue this, in that they burn crosses to make it clear to individuals that the community is not okay with them or their actions.
