A religious symbol is an iconic representation intended to represent a specific religion, or a specific concept within a given religion.^[1]

Religious symbols have been used in the military in many countries, such as the United States military chaplain symbols. Similarly, the United States Department of Veterans Affairs emblems for headstones and markers recognize 57 symbols (including a number of symbols expressing non-religiosity).
