But they're not arguing that it's covered because it's a religious symbol. It's a work of art that they commissioned; whether it was commissioned to represent a church, or to represent a satirical organization, or for a private collector, it doesn't matter. It's still an 'original work of authorship', which gives it copyright protection.
