Any artists or poets come to mind who had a multilayered engagement with faith? Like:

The famous nun-artist Corita Kent left the convent.

The Benedictine poet Sylvester Houedard studied Hinduism.

Hilma af Klint was a Lutheran Christian interested in the occult.
The poet Gerard Manley Hopkins left his Protestant upbringing for Catholicism.

Denise Levertov's poetry comes out of Jewish and Christian family roots.

A songwriter with Jewish roots, Leonard Cohen entered a Zen monastery late in life.
This kind of crossing boundaries feels much more true to life. And it spilts the difference between liturgical artists who might find faith/art easier to integrate and artists who avoid religion entirely.
