Aside from the christian weighting (catholic & protestant) in that, there are huge problems with this. First off, exactly which sect of protestantism would it be (there are piles of variations, many are quite hostile to each other)? Also I am sure there are people who died in the attack who were not of a Judeo-Christian faith... what about them? Should we not include every possible faith then? If so then things turn into a real sideshow circus (have fun with all the different Hindi sects).
What about those who do not have a faith? They died there too, why should their grave be turned into shrine about something they did not believe in?
Frankly I think the fairest choice of all is to keep religion out of this. If individual churches and other places of worship wish to do something, let them as that is the place to do it, but I don't think it should be a part of official commemorations (I am not very much in favor of the whole thing to begin with).
