That's rich. if anything religion, and particularily christianity, limits creativity, because it's like you have someone looking over your shoulder keeping an a demotivational running commentary on your ideas, saying things in your ear like "you can't include that in your painting, that's obscene/immoral/indecent/blasphemous and so on. I never felt more free creatively since the day I gave up believing in god. I agree, a total wanker whoever said that. He must really hate seeing that people are just as creative, and moreso in some cases, without having to hold any silly beliefs.
