Religion and art is obviously related, as can be seen in the explicit religious references in much of art. Almost all western painting and sculpture before ~1500 prominently features Jesus Christ. Much of classical music is also religious in nature, with whole generations of composers deeply focused on oratorios, chorales, and other religious works. The various Requiems and other sacred music is prominently represented in the western musical canon.

Today there seems to be a sense that there is some deep and profound rift between science and religion. But the notion that scientists can't be religious is deeply wrong. Science and Religion are deeply compatible. Most scientific progress was made by highly religious people.

Isaac Newton, Henry Moseley, J.J. Thomson, Michael Faraday, Gregor Mendel, John Dalton and Georg Ohm, Charles Darwin, Galileo, Boyle, etc were all religious.

Furthermore, these men saw their scientific pursuits as a way to understand and appreciate God's creation. Curiosity, a necessary precursor to science, was often seen as an intrinsic virtue and as a way to praise The Lord during the Elizabethan enlightenment. This virtue was exemplified by members of the Royal Society (see Robert Boyle was famously curious), and more broadly encouraged by Protestantism (see The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism by Max Weber).
