Others have clearly stated that they have no desire to see anything "religious" allowed in the galleries

Well that wouldn't just be Christian iconography would it? "Anything religious" would encompass more than just Christianity.

I personally don't care to see religious things (though again I think Nathalie's render is VERY nicely done) so I simply don't peruse the religion catagory. I have nothing against a religion catagory. I have nothing against this particular picture other than it violates the ToS as it is currently written.

A simple change in the ToS to say that religous symbology is allowed and I wouldn't be involved in this thread at all other than to comment on the fact that I think the render is quite well done.

I don't see why a change in ToS is such a big deal. They did it before in the recent past based on another thread where people pointed out that the way it was worded wasn't exactly working as they likely intended. They clearly state they have the right to modify it, so modify it and voila no more problem.

I have a guess as to why they are balking about modifying it in this case, but I will keep that to myself for now until I see how this unfolds a bit.
