Sagot :

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Cultures artistic production (art, literature, music, architecture, philosophy) change depending on whether a social order, in general, worships many gods (polytheism) or one God (monotheism), or if it's founded on indigenous principles for the following reasons.

People tend to create artistic expressions influenced by their religious approach or belief systems. This can be seen since the beginning of civilization when elder Sumerians or ancient Egyptians left clay tablets, or hieroglyphs honoring their gods and describing their relationships with them.  

Since ancestral times, humans built temples or churches to worship their different divinities, and they always behave under the influence of the statements of their gods. In a few words, humans tried to appease their gods.

When Father Abraham started to create the concept of worshiping just one almighty god, Jewish people, Christians, and Muslim people expressed their faith through art, paintings, poems, and literature. They also built impressive buildings to worship God in the form of synagogues, churches, or mesquites.
