While on a walk yesterday I saw the new version of the COEXIST sticker on a car. The crescent of Islam had been replaced by the hammer and sickle of Soviet Communism.
That there's a bit of unconscious honesty, admitting that Communism is an irrational, faith-based ideology that has all the trappings of a religion except deities.
Using the symbol of one bloodthirsty religion to replace the symbol of the most bloodthirsty deity-based religion extant (the Aztecs thus don't qualify) is an especially nice touch.
