Logan Shermeyer-Renaissance Art

I started thinking more about the art that was produced during the Renaissance period and started to wonder about the religious connnection that each artist made with their art. Is it possible that many of the artists didn't believe in the religious aspect of their art and did it just for the money?
I know it sounds absurd, but a lot of these artists were commissioned to produce religious works of art, so I think it's completely possible that the artists weren't connecting with a higher power through their art. I think the religious aspect of the art definitely came from those who commissioned the artists, and because it was extremely popular for the time period.
Comments, questions, arguments?
