What would be another reason? What i'm saying is religion isn't a reason, honoring the deads is.

Is there something else, maybe i didn't understand what you meant?

Edit : Yes in this particular case it's a soldier on the grave of its brother in arms who died at war. Not sure who the artist is but the meaning is pretty clear, stand for America and honor the soldiers that fought for it in war.

It could be a soldier praying for a safe tour.

But see my edit. If the artist meant it to be a fallen soldier as the reason, I could believe it. I don’t think it’s the only possibility though.

So what is the possibility you meant by "kneeling to religion" ?

I wrote “for” not “to”

I meant, it’s a religious gesture.
