Have you seen these nice "Coexist" stickers around your town? The symbols making up the word "Coexist" are book-ended by the Crescent and the Cross, representing Islam and Christianity with their one-plus billion Muslim and two billion Christian followers, respectively. The Yin-Yang symbol from ancient Chinese philosophy is a nod to the Far East and its one billion Chinese. It is less clear, however, why the Star of David was included among such heavyweights.

Overlooking the fact that the Jewish star looks nothing like the letter it is intended to represent, there are only 13 million Jews worldwide, or 0.23% of the world's population. While the designer may have included the Jewish faith alongside Christianity and Islam based solely on the amount of oppression and suffering it begets, perhaps a better choice for the letter "X" would have been the swastika, a sacred symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. There are 10 million Jains, 350 million Buddhists, and one billion Hindus worldwide - and unlike the Jewish star, the swastika actually does incorporate the letter "X."
