Indeed - the generic one is osm-template.xml which is then processed by a script to produce an osm.xml customised for your setup. > Also, discovered that renderd will crash if any of the referenced symbols > in osm.xml aren't present in the local filesystem.

Is that really a question of the religion of the hospital? or of the person that makes the map? Would a map in a Muslin country have some hosptials marked in one way and some in another? or is it that a map produced in a Christain country uses one symbol and map produced in a Muslin country a different symbol? In other words is tagging the hospital the right solution or is it just that you need to use a different stylesheet when rendering the map in a Muslim country regardless of the location of the hospital?
