My only issue with this is two things:

1. You need to address the linguistic etymological connection Christianity has on all of words feelings and emotions with association to these things. I find it near impossible to divorce Christianity from western aesthetics because of this.

2. You also need to address differences in theology and understanding of the bible not everyone agrees the meaning or intent of these things and I find the hippie altruist for the sake of altruism Christians heretical for example.

I don't disagree with many of your points like how many people just look at this at a shallow surface level. I also recognize in Italy especially there would be pre-christian aesthetics weaved in with the Christian ones as well but that's also a product of what some of them claim as a religious culture in general.
