I didn't say it was restricted to religion. I am saying that great works of art are more likely to come from a mind that is open to the transcendent nature of reality, usually a belief in some form of God. Is poetry logical?, yet it can contain truths.

This.
Just because some artists chose to create religious works doesn't mean that art is dependent on religion. If you want more people to like your painting, why not market it to all the morons and just slap Jesus on it? BAM instant sale.
Music is also art, and Christian "rock" is probably the worst excuse for noise ever conceived. Try again.
Can people stop putting words into my mouth, I never said "dependant", "essential" or "restricted to"
