Why are there religious symbols in the design of _Mangekyou Sharingan_?

Religious Symbols in Naruto


The association of these images towards some religious symbols or to the
Illuminati are a clear sign of over interpretation. Your issue is primarily
with the _Mangekyou Sharingan_.

The left picture is Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan. It depicts a
[pinwheel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinwheel_\(toy\)) with three curls.
Here is an image of one with four curls, but the 2D representation would be
roughly the same.

When I read Naruto in the past, I thought it was a _Shuriken_.

The second one is Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan. According to
[Narutopedia](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Mangekyou_Sharingan#Overview), it
also resembles a pinwheel, only with six curls.

But the first thing I saw when I looked at it was a model of an atom.

It could also be a six-petaled lotus blossom.

According to
[Narutopedia](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Mangekyou_Sharingan#Overview), all
_Mangekyou Sharingan_ resemble pinwheels. So no religious symbols and no
Illuminati at all.
