Seems silly, but if it was the other way around I'm sure _many_ people
here would probably concur in the discomfort of using an OS who's logo
was some sort of religion symbol, say a Christian Cross, Egyptian
Ankh, David Star, Muslim Moon, or a Satanic Encircled Five Point Star.
Well, to me it's about intent.
I doubt the FreeBSD logo was picked with the intent of sticking a
thumb in the eye of anyone religious. I also think it's pretty clear
it wasn't picked by someone who identified with Satanism.
On the other hand, if someone uses a Jesus Fish or a cross as a logo,
they're usually trying to make a political point. *That* would make
me uncomfortable -- not the symbol itself, but the sentiment I knew
was behind it.
