That's a mighty fine secular humanitarian organization you chose to use for an example. Good one!

The white cross on the Swiss flag originated in the 1200s as “a symbol of the Christian faith,” according to the Swiss Embassy in the United States. However, the Red Cross was founded as a secular, non-denominational organization, and they make no mention of Christianity as a reason for adopting the symbol.
The founder of the Red Cross, Henry Dunant, was a Swiss entrepreneur who was raised in the Calvinist faith in Geneva, Switzerland. He was deeply affected by the sight of 40,000 wounded and dying soldiers on the battlefield in Solferino, Italy, in 1859, where he was seeking an audience with Napolean III for business interests. He helped organize locals to help the wounded and dying soldiers.
