That's quite a claim at the end. Who can argue with scholars?
As for the rest, that's religion for you. They know it's boring, so they have to make a musical production of it. Maybe science should try that.

And set scientific theories to the music? Maybe get Randy Rainbow to help?
When I took Hebrew years ago, we had a song about verbs set to the tune of The Beach Boys "California Girls"

European theater (including concepts such as stand-up comedy) comes from greek theater.
And the modern european-style drama with multi-layered stories and metaphors and hidden meanings comes not from the church-choir but from images and visual memes of medieval books. (For example, that's where the trope that an ugly person is evil comes from.)

Modern drama really follows ancient Greek theater more than the Mass.
