I hate these nitpicks cause they're always an issue for just one specific culture/language (usually American/English) and not a problem inherent with the subject of the controversy (in this case chess itself).
This is not an issue with the game of chess, there's no "Christian roots" in the game. Stop trying to problematize an ancient game and its players.

Case in point, in Romanian, the exact same chess piece is called "the madman". The game is not the issue. The thing you're annoyed at is not chess, it's your local culture. And you're annoyed because you can't cope with the fact that you're in a minority that has no respect for the culture of your nation. FUCK OFF if you don't like it.
