You need to read the code section carefully.
The HOA can't prevent you from "displaying or affixing on the entry to the owner's or resident's dwelling one or more religious items." That's stuff that you stick to your door - not stuff you might hang on the gutter, or on outside trees. You CAN be prohibited from displaying one of those hideous inflatable Santa-on-the-motorcycle things.
