I wouldn't really tag hospitals with religion=something. Rather it should be culture=something as even people who aren't religious like to use symbols which are specific to a culture. Saying that a building has a religion is like saying that one-year-old child has a religion. It just doesn't make sense.
To make an example, I'm quite confident that no muslim living in the UK has something against rendering hospitals with a cross and no atheist living Beirut has anything against rendering a hospital with a crescent. It's just a local custom and has nothing whatsoever to do with religion. 2008/8/18 spaetz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > On Sun, Aug 17, 2008 at 05:36:57PM +0100, Tom Hughes wrote: >> It was more that the idea of putting a religion tag on a hospital >> seemed kind of very wrong to me... > > Fully agreed.
