It is often attributed to Dorothy Sayers that she believed poetry and religion were more important than writing mystery stories. Sayers was a writer known for her mystery novels, but she also wrote essays and translated Dante's Divine Comedy, reflecting a deep interest in poetry and religion.

Another answer from our community:No. Christianity was totally opposed to the mystery religions at its beginning and should still be. The mystery religions were a form of idol worship, sun worship and other pagan practices. They were called "mystery" religions because some of their practices were kept secret by those who participated in them. John 18:20 says, "Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing."
