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.
