halacha - Is it allright to use/wave the Argentinian flag?


The Sun of May in the flag is inspired by an ancient Inca god. It is used by the Argentinian flag and the Uruguayan flag.


It is a representation used as a homage to the ancient empire, inspired by the Inca sun deity, as there isn't an official symbol to represent it, just like we don't have a symbol to represent Hashem.


It is not like the Turkey flag. Muslims adopted the crescent, a secular symbol, to represent their faith, contrariwise, the Sun of May was never adopted by Incan faith, neither it was made to symbolize it.


Is it idolatry to use/wave these flags, but without adoring the symbol?
