I do not personally like the tri-something shape, as it looks pretty much like the logo
of a sect or of a strange cult.
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.
Maybe an agreement with the author of the masalla icon theme could be done?
Trees do have a religious significance, actually, in a lot of what are loosely called
pagan religions. The triquetra has been used as a Christian symbol, as has just about
anything else with three-part symmetry. Actually, practically any simple form usable
as a logo has probably been used by someone's religion at some point in time
(including
unexpected things like fish, cats, and hammers), so I'm not sure it's a good idea
to exclude
whole classes of objects on that basis.
The Masalla icon set is, in general, very well-made and very (there's no other word
for it) iconic. However, the tree you've presented does not say
"Trinity/TDE" to me.
A more triangular tree (an evergreen?) in a similar style might work, but it also might
drag in Christmas associations . . .
Branding is hard.
