RELIGION IN THE MEDIA
Religion is so thematically prevalent in the arts and humanities because religious faith has been among the most powerful forces in human societies since the dawn of our civilization. Religious paintings idealize, exalt, imply, and communicate a religion’s story. They preserve religious traditions and make it easier for people to visualize a notion or event that would otherwise be impossible to visualize with just words.
Sometimes works of art are involved in a religious controversy, which makes people question art and religion. Some of them shocked the world, generated scandals, or even changed the course of art history.
