Not the religion you're looking for...

I hope I'm not the only person on this side of the line, but I'm going to flat-out say it -- The paintings of the Abstract Impressionists are not religious in nature. They may arise out of the same mental faculties as the cave-people's impulse to express themselves, and they may take as their springboard psychological ideas...

But to say that these paintings are a manifestation of big-picture religion as much as anything else is to completely erode the definition of 'Religion' to make it utterly meaningless.
