Description
Flags are used as symbols of languages. But it is not always good. (Here I explain why.) But people are divided not only by countries and languages. There are religions too. And what if someone wanted to mark religions with flags? Shikku27316 was willing to create religious flags, I am still waiting for his results. But let's look at this deviation. There are four flags of countries prominently bound to religion. Fifth flag is religious (there are more religious flags here ), because there is no one prestigious country for Buddhism. (Maybe Tibet?) South Korean flag looks Taoist (with Yin Yang) and Indonesian emblem looks Hinduist (with Garuda), but these religions don't predominate in these countries. Of course, there exist non-country symbols for religions. The Christian Flag with cross in canton, the flag of OIC and the symbol Om. But I intended to show how to not mark religions with flags. Other proposals I expect in comments.Related content

yeah, choosing the flag of Vatican to represent all Christians and not just one denomination within would definitely be a bad idea. i hope nobody used it that way.
Christian flag, OTOH, is - AFAIK - used mainly by Protestants.
and both flags are against the rule of tincture [two Catholic metals and two Protestant colours ].

So this is better? It breaks the rule of tincture far less than flag of Vatican and so called Christian flag.
BTW here is Shikku27316's gallery I was expecting.

no, i would try to find a symbol that would be common to all branches of Christianity rather than enumerating these branches. because there is also a possibility you miss someone.
that's also the reason i don't like these continent flags which are basically mixes of some national flags.

The green of India flag stands for Islamism. But nice idea, anyway .

This would certainly be a pretty strange situation. I'm going to make the flags soon, but I don't think they'll look all that good. Do you have suggestions, or which one you'd like to see first?

I choose Christianity and the Vatican flag because Pope Francis is my idol.
