B、 Both are used regardless of religious significance.
C、 The red cross was the organization''s original symbol.
D、 The red crescent was later adopted for use in certain regions.

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】原文中提到红十字作为国际红十字会的标志没有宗教含义，而只是为了向该组织发起人的祖国瑞士表示敬意(瑞士国旗为正方形红底白十字)。但当该协会在伊斯兰教社会开展活动时，为避免人们把它与基督教(历史上曾有十多次十字军东征，即与伊斯兰教开战)联系起来，该组织采用了红色新月标记。尽管这两种标记本身并无宗教色彩，但其使用还是与宗教环境有关，因此B为正确选项。
