Right, this has nothing to do with religion or secularism or politics. I'm going to go out on a limb, and not carefully, suggest that you are politicizing something which is simply about cartography. The fact is that in this place, defined by a certain politcal boundary, the symbol for a medica

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.
