i also think that moving into religious waters like soul and spirituality we can move into dangerous areas of the scope. that is not a good move imho.
in ANY artwork done at that time there were references to god's. almost everything has had a religious meaning when you look at history. so avoiding it is not really possible. but keeping an eye on keeping "real" religion out is important. especially with this theme i suggest we use some of the styles of that era and not the meaning as it is all connected to each other. yope out.
