Though i think it a false assumption to think Michelangelo or Leonardo da vinci or The likes were religious. They might have been. But they lived in a time in which most of their work was contracted by The church. If there had been other less religious organizations employing them, perhaps The art they made would have been less religious.
It is generally understood that Michelangelo, at least, was devout almost to the point of fanaticism. His letters and the opinions of his contemporaries are pretty clear on this point.
