"Today the origin of the university mascot is virtually forgotten even
though its instant, national recognition has long been established.
With the popular Red Devil mascot frequently being challenged
throughout the country, the origin of Duke's Blue Devil is one of the
most often requested items of information in the University Archives.
Questioners are universally surprised to discover its origin is more
military and patriotic than religious."

Why are you playing into what religious people think? Is Duke changing
their mascot? You're giving in to ignorance at no benefit to the OS
itself. The only perceived benefit is that ignorant people wouldn't be
offended. Fantastic. Now you have them as your user base.
