(I mean, they are Swords of the Cross, so I get why it was said that way, but the OP is absolutely right, and I think they're more a focus for faith in the White God in its many forms.)

Also, Sanya is descended from Saladin (IIRC), who was definitely not a Christian.
I concur.
Tush Hog:
I suppose rewording it like that would be fine, but like it's been mentioned - they are the Swords of the Cross. I think Christians are the only ones who believe in the miracle of the Cross. Muslims don't believe Jesus was crucified, seems kind of hard to channel faith of entire religion of Islam through the swords in that case -- to me anyway.
So, while the Knights might have a broad spectrum of possibilities, the swords seem to be definite Christian artifacts.

And Shō Tai was? :P
And as Sanya shows, anyone of any faith, or lack-thereof, could wield the swords. Christian symbol they might be, but Sanya would likely argue that they are a symbols of Good, rather than any particular religion.
KnightFerrous:
This is why one of the character ideas i had in order to play a knight of the cross without breaking cannon was having the Spear of Longinus reforged as a roman gladius with a red blade. It should have the same properties as the nails yes? but It hasn't been mentioned at all in the series.
