Religion and public ART

Public art is a great method to motivate the public to head for a certain goal. In the case of religion many public art is used to attract the public to become its believer. For example, cathedrals, mosques, temples, and performances that just look so magnificent to the publics eyes. Using public art to attract the public is good in that it is very affective. Public art can be seen by anyone, can be approached by anyone, and it is also less criticized for however it looks. However it is bad in that it can give a very one sided view on the religion. For example, if a person looks at a mosque or cathedral, the person can easily connect Islam and Catholicism  with wealth or power. These two religions are definitely powerful but not in every places. Also not every Muslim and Catholic is wealthy and powerful. So when public art is used, we should be careful not only to give a good view of what it is representing but also be careful to interpret the public art.
