You seem to ignore the distinction between artistic talent being hired to create something in a religious time and "religious inspiration". Art will take more of a religious form in more religious times. That does not mean necessarily mean God or the Bible inspired these artists to make better works than they would have in a more secular time. I think ignoring that distinction is ignorant if you want to start throwing that term around.
