Thursday Thought - Is Art Religion?
Willa Cather gives us quite a lot to think about with this one: “Art and religion (they are the same thing, in the end, of course) have given man the only happiness he has ever had.”
I suppose we could say that an artist is inspired by something bigger than himself and that religious beliefs quite frequently influence artistic works, but I wouldn’t say that art and religion are the same thing. What do you think? Is art religion?

Art is not religion but it is definitely spiritual

Art is definitely not religion. But creativity is a gift from God and the ability to recognize beauty is also a gift from Him.
