Iran. Look at it's flag. Why does it have on it what it has? Why not a white flag with a green stripe? What is on there is on there for a reason: why? )I should think that it is directly related to their faith)
Canada. Look at it's flag. Why does it have on it what it has? Why not a white flag with a green stripe? What is on there is on for a reason: why? (I should think that red and white have some signifigance, and that the leaf has a signifigance)
Sweden. Look at it's flag. Why does it have on it what it has? Why not a flag with a green stripe? What is on there is on there for a reason: why? (I should think that the colors have some signifigance that I don't know, but I would be willing to bet that the shape on the flag symbolizes the Christian faith)
I'm sorry that I didn't do a very good job describing what I was looking for, but when I spoke of what the flag means I was looking for people to actually analyze what is on the American flag, and why it is there. Why would we have a stripe for each colony? Why would we have stars? Why not have circles in place of stars?

I agree with it that nearly all flags have a story behind them. I oppose however that most of them have to have christian background in the western world. France and Germany have no reference at all to relgions in their falg.
But I would also like to hear what the creators of the American flag thought why they did it like they did it. But
