Not just any religion, it’s a Seventh Day Adventist Hospital (an offshoot of the Mennonites, who believed the end of the world was predicted in the Bible). This has all sorts of weird implications; from my memory, they can’t serve caffeine on the premises. There’s a giant painting of Jesus guiding a surgeon’s hands in the front of the Orlando branch when you walk inside.

I grew up overseas. All the hospitals were technically "islamic" but the great thing about that was zero religeous paintings. There were no crosses hanging over beds, but neither was any other image. Christians felt as welcomed as anyone else. The architecture and decoration was agnostic. Even the attached mosque was basically just a square room pointing in a strange direction, and was open to all peoples.

That’s just Islamic aniconism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aniconism_in_Islam

Islamic religious art na look agnostic … if you don’t know what you’re looking at.

Of course, without context Christian religious art is a lot of plus signs, moms with babies, winged babies, weird bonnets, and torture porn.

Isn't that a direct result of the Islamic belief that man made art is offensive to God? The same reason mosques are decorated with geometric patterns and not "art".

I think the prohibition is against depicting living things.
