I think that the default symbol for a dead "Team Member" should not be a religious symbol such as the christian cross, but a neutral figure like a headstone or statue.

If a christian cross is included as a custom option, then other symbols from various religions and philosophies should be also included. Several symbols of crosses and other burial symbols can be found in Wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_symbol
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross

I particularly request for:

Happy Human (Humanism)

Pentagram (Wicca)

Ouroboros (Gnosticism, Hermeticism)

FSM (Flying Spaghetti Monster)

I am serious, a christian cross in a Open Source game gives me the creeps, it is proselytism and it should not be there.
You are imposing a religion unless you have all other philosophies represented and none is the default. Or even better, no religion at all.
Yeah, no moral-flags in hw, no crosses in hw.

Sorry that you don't see a value in secularism. We don't need to agree.
Anyhow, very funny! I can't wait to start blasting bombs on it...
