From my reading . . .
In a secular society, art itself can be the subject of a religious type of devotion. It’s common to hear artists talk of their work as being their religion
—their personal salvation and also their hope for the world. ‘Given the ever-present absence of God,’ concluded the atheist art critic Peter Fuller, ‘art, and the gamut of aesthetic experience, provides the sole remaining glimmer of transcendence.’
