The Red Cross is a secular movement dedicated to helping in wartime and in peacetime disasters. It does not seek to promote any religious mission. The flag of the Red Cross is believed to be simply a colour reversal of the Swiss flag, but in any case, is not considered to have religious significance. In spite of this, countries with religious sensitivities use alternative symbols such as the Red Crescent or Red Crystal.
