Sacred to Secular: What is the soul of art, culture, and religion?

In this thoughtful commentary, Leighton Grey explores the provocative question: "Is Secularism Destroying The Pillars of Western Civilization?" Join us as we examine the evolution of Western art from its religious and patronage-driven roots to today's individualistic expressions. We delve into Michelangelo's divine inspirations behind masterpieces like David, the Pietà, and the Sistine Chapel, contrasting them with modern art's "art for art's sake" philosophy. Who is driving the broader shifts in Western civilization's foundational values? In this commentary, Leighton Grey challenges the conventional narratives about secularism's impact on our artistic and cultural heritage.
