Do you consider "The Holy Bible" a piece of religious art?

I mean, aside from the album title's obvious symbolism, there were no religious symbolisms that will link my experience into something that will justify it as a legitimate experience that people can agree upon. But, there is no such thing as an obvious pattern for a sacred experience; it has turned “unrecognizable” because the profane things that we usually don’t connect to the typical religious experiences. Also, although the way the Manics play their songs deviate from the typical verse-chorus-verse musical form or lyrics that is typical on most religious hymns, there is still much power and transformative experience that can be found in this musical form that they have created. Also, by the art they have created, no matter how different and unusual, it could invoke that same epic feeling that the traditional arts have invoked in the past.

Sorry if it sounds too pretentious heh. Just my two cents. Would love to hear other people's arguments.
