No you abrahamcuck. Everything thing "aesthetic" in Christian and Muslim "architecture" just comes from the secular pagan Romans and Persians.

Not necessarily
But it was definitely a great factor for competition. Islam and Christianity always compared their buildings. For instance in the 16th century when Mimar Sinan was challenged by Western architects to build a bigger and wider dome. Sinan eventually did whilst building the Selimiye in Edirne.

It's also the religion that influences the style. Higher cathedrals meant better echoing sound. They also needed a high spot to put a bell.
Similarly, Islam has minarets to loud the prayer. A dome however is mostly decorative and serve no religious purpose.

If you have an organization which can shit out millions of dollars into art then yes it will look better than some concrete structure done on a strict budget. Humanities genocide when?
