That's a very complex question. To put it simply, Botticelli was a painter of the Early Renaissance, which was a major change from purely religious art. Religious work still continued, but other subjects(i.e. Mythology) came in as well. Some art critics and experts believe Botticelli combined aspects of Christianity with mythology(which is called Neoplatonism). Despite this attempt, many religiously devout were not okay with the incorporation of mythology into art, especially radicals like Savanarola(who burned earthly pleasures, or 'vanities').
