The swastika is a reverse-oriented Sanskrit-based [don't ask me precise
religion or culture!] symbol of "God". No relation to Christian, unless
you swallow Hindu-based views and opt for a few years of study in India.
[The chances of his getting in some study in Egypt is barely more
plausible.] Definitely no relation to Judaic.
=====
The above list is a side effect of the churches being filled with devout
unbelievers. Just because someone has a Christian-meme does NOT mean
that they have junked the operating system they were born with and
acquired one that defies analysis and looks inexplicable! In fact, a
priori, it is highly unlikely. My name for this subcase is "devout
unbeliever".
Those who have gone that route? The technical term is "born again".
Please note that many who express a Christian-meme have a memetic allergy
to "born again"....
