Recent novels, movies, etc., are unlikely to be religious unless they're specifically aimed at that market. So one might say that modern religious art is driven not by spirituality but by money? Why would someone inspired by your god care at all about markets and so forth? Real art doesn't worry about things like market. Real art happens because to the artist it must happen. Once you're worrying about markets, it's not art, it's a commodity.

Does my picture not count as art?
