Take a look at the tree icon that can be found in the masalla icon theme.
In my opinion it looks better and does not have any religious meaning.
You cannot call something "Trinity" and avoid all religious associations. In
fact, I doubt you could call it anything and avoid all religious
associations. As has been pointed out, you couldn't even use pasta.
If the logo is to be in any way associated with the name, it is likely to be
tri- something. (Even a T has three points) Things have associations.
Perhaps try to avoid flaming crosses, black flags and swastikas, but trees
are difficult, as has been pointed out, and are used too often by people
looking for a logo with no associations (SOAS, University of London and the
British Conservative Party to name two fairly recent ones from my personal
experience.) Trees have associations for many people. I associate oak trees
with Druids. Evergreens with Norse gods, Cedars with the Lebanon (fine) and
my school (bad). Etc.
We cannot avoid associations.
