It is, but I think it is me showing my age. My fault for not checking. I
will change the spelling.

Yes, I was thinking that rather than attempt to cover every possible
religion, some more neutral symbol might be possible. A pair of praying
hands, for example; although I know different religions do use different
hand positions, as far as I know the differences don't have such strong
connotations
as symbols like the crescent or the cross.
