The Red Cross is very protective of its symbol. It is used in war zones and other situations where people might be very tempted to abuse the protection it is supposed to provide (e.g. mark an arms transport with a red cross, which would be a war crime). Therefore, the Red Cross tries hard to keep the use of the symbol constrained very tightly to avoid its meaning getting watered down in the public conciousness.

That said, maybe we need a global organisation to 'own' and be protective of The biohazard and nuclear icons. Though the religion/mythology approach might be more long lasting, but bootstrapping that is hard.
