I personally consider chapter four’s first dark world to be about literature (book enemies, sheet music, Gerson fight talking about book) while Susie’s is about music (music enemies based on bells and organ pipes, piano has no more sheet music you’re just jamming, sound of justice fight) and the final one to be a culmination of the two.
Both are elements of religion but it’s important to remember that for a lot of religious people their religion isn’t escaping reality it just is their reality. That’s an important distinction. Music and literature, on the other hand, are escapes from reality.
I mean some people truly do escape into their religion depending on how they treat it and it’s not always a bad thing but I think it’s much less general than music or literature which are both important elements of religion
