Nah see that's 100% debatable
OP art is not well defined. We have a schema of things in our head that we can clearly distinguish as "art", some of them only in particular contexts, and we have things that inspire a feeling in us, usually a sense of awe, that we associate with art and so we are generally prone to calling the things that cause these feelings "art." That is more or less as far as the definition goes.

But those things are art if human crafted arent they?

What isn't art?

>>16480624
A couple of very notable philosophers believe that the negatives of religion outweigh the positives but they also agree that it would need to be replaced with something, like when someone gets over an addiction by starting a new one.
While Friedrich Nitzsche mostly kept his commentary about Christianity but made a very interesting point about replacing religion as a whole. He mentioned that art and culture provide many of the positive aspects of religion (community, a sense of belonging, rehabilitation, knowledge, etc. Etc.) But without devoting your life to worshipping a god, "holy crusades" and not eating bacon.

It's bullshit attached to a convincing argument to look like it's not bullshit.
