Does atheism inspire people?

[StatCrux]

From my point of view, the Mona Lisa is a non-religious piece of art, and the last supper is a religious piece of art. Both are considered masterpieces by the same artist.

I would submit that Da Vinci would create amazing pieces with or without religious "inspiration".

I agree that Religion provides inspiration for some great pieces, however, the source of the inspiration is irrelevant to the standard of the piece, rather the talent of the individual, which is exactly the point which renders your argument that it is the impetus either inconclusive or irrelevant.

The subject of the painting doesn't need to be religious, the mind of the artist remains religious in its way of understanding reality. In the same way a monk cleaning his cell is continuously in union with God, his life becomes continual prayer, so the mindset of the artist doesn't stop being religious if they paint a non religious subject.
