Religion and Culture

Having finished Philip Lee's Against the Protestant Gnostics, I decided to read Harold Bloom's The American Religion for a different take on the same subject. I will leave my critique of Bloom's work to another time. But the two books have prodded me into thinking of the relationship between Religion and Culture. More specifically, is a particular style or form of worship part and parcel of an appreciation of certain art forms? For example, if your church has a choir that sings works by Bach and Mozart, are you more likely to listen to their secular works?
