The commission that governs the weirdly named Relic Room, a name overburdened with religious overtones

Relic - 1) an object surviving from an earlier time, especially one of historical or sentimental interest 3) an object, custom, or belief that has survived from an earlier time but is now outmoded.

Fits those definitions perfectly without having to bring religion into it. But they have some axe to grind so they need to try to make it creepy as hell. Relic is no more "overburdened with religious overtones" than icon which I am sure they use all of the time at the stupid little online rag of theirs.

Damn straight. I never expect smoking in the Smoking Room, nor do I expect a bed in the bedroom.
