I know I said it was over, but I came up with another (admittedly low effort) flag for my Cult War of the 2040s timeline. I found a cool image while browsing through public domain images and decided I wanted to incorporate it.
The Cult War of the 2040s was thought to be a uniquely American conflict when it first broke out, however, over the ensuing years and the subsequent Second American Civil War after its end, the influence of these groups would begin to spread throughout the rest of the world. One group that would arise would be started by a Lebanese American who fled the US during the CW40s, ending up in Lebanon with family members. However, one day he would be outside when he claimed that he saw a human figure with a bull skull as its head, emerging between two cedar trees. According to him, this figure was Yahweh, who told the man that he was the reincarnation of Adam, and that he was slated to be the next prophet for the reborn Earth which was to come. Combining Lebanese nationalism and pre-Judaic rituals, the new group would be dubbed the Face of Yahweh, and the man would be dubbed the Mouth of the Bull. The Mouth of the Bull would say that Lebanon was the chosen land of Yahweh and that cattle were a holy animal, who would need to be sacrificed daily to appease Yahweh. Despite hostility from many groups in the surrounding regions, and across the world, this faith would grow, and would eventually come into open conflict with the Lebanese government. Eventually more groups would arise as instability in the region increased due to the continuing effects of global warming and increasing shortages of essential resources.
