I go along with the idea that it is the religious belief of the person using the symbolic article that determines its effect. A devout Muslim should be able to drive away a vampire with a copy of the Qu'ran as well as a Christian can with a cross. It is the chanelling of the holy against the corruption of the vampire which has the effect I think.
