Does your faith have a flag? Is it used?

Well, there's the flag of Vatican City:

I've always thought that it's a pretty cool looking flag.

Nope.

But I like this or something like it.

Or maybe something with the symbol I have in my avatar.

Yes, it is (if you look carefully) an 'ochre' (Bhagwa, Buff. Lighter shade than the Buddhist ochre, RGB #BF4040, somewhere between 'fallow' and 'tawny') flag. People put the image of Om, Swastika, Hanuman (the monkey God) or Shiva's trident on it. That is optional. Saffron also will do.

2016 Code of Alabama
Title 1 - GENERAL PROVISIONS.
Chapter 2A - THE ALABAMA STATE FLAG ACT.
Section 1-2A-2 - Historical information.​

The state did not have a flag from 1819 to January 11, 1861, when a resolution was passed designating a flag designed by a group of Montgomery women as the "Republic of Alabama Flag." One side of this flag displayed, under an arch bearing the words "Independent Now and Forever," the Goddess of Liberty holding in her right hand an unsheathed sword and in her left hand a small flag with one star.

From April 1865 until 1895, the State of Alabama flew the United States Flag during all official occasions.

The Alabama State Flag as it exists today was adopted on February 16, 1895, pursuant to Act No. 383 of the 1895

"The flag of the state of Alabama shall be a crimson cross of St. Andrew on a field of white. The bars forming the cross shall be not less than six inches broad, and must extend diagonally across the flag from side to side."

The St. Andrew's Cross resembles the letter "X" in the English alphabet and is also referred to as the "saltier" or "Crux Decussata." According to tradition, Andrew, the brother of Peter, was crucified on a cross of this shape. Andrew did not feel worthy enough to die on the same style of cross on which Christ died and requested a cross of another shape. His request was granted and he was crucified upside down on a cross which now bears his name. Rather than using nails to secure his limbs to the cross, Andrew was bound to the cross with ropes. His suffering was thus prolonged. St. Andrew's Cross came into wide use during the Medieval Period and became the national cross of Scotland, since St. Andrew was the patron saint of Scotland.

The salute to the Alabama State Flag provides:

"Flag of Alabama I salute thee. To thee I pledge my allegiance, my service, and my life."

Andrew the Apostle (Koinē Greek: Ἀνδρέᾱς)
also called Saint Andrew, was an apostle of Jesus. He is the brother of Simon Peter[6] and is a son of Jonah. He is referred to in the Eastern Orthodox Church tradition as the First-Called (Πρωτόκλητος, Prōtoklētos).

According to Eastern Orthodox tradition, the apostolic successor to Andrew is the Patriarch of Constantinople.[7]

As soon as they don't allow you to fly your Confederate flag in Religion the politicians have already turned over your moral conscience to a Roman Circus of Italians, castrations, Father-Molestor, schism creators and demagogues. Thats the original use and THE CURRENT SITUATION!
