Images will not be deleted from commons for religious reasons. That I can
guarantee. Their presentation on wikipedia can be avoided.

We do not want galleries on wikipedia, that is what commons is for. This for
example can be a valid compromise.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depiction_of_Jesus shows a few examples, which
I will now move to commons as per the above reason.
