The Creation of Adam by Michelangelo (Sistine Chapel) Retrieved September 18th from: https://briarcroft.wordpress.com/2010/12/06/an-advent-tapestry-our-hearts-are-restless/
I think one of good examples of symbolic universes today can be different new religions. Religious people acknowledge themselves as a part of divine world created by God who is the father of all people. Whenever newborn comes to the world he or she is already a part of the supernal universe and as he or she rises he or she starts to learn from elder people about the God and how everything that exists in the world has been created and starts to perceive him or herself as integral part of that universe. And for that person it cannot be otherwise. It does not depend on him or her. He or she was born as a part of that universe, everyone else in his or her understanding is a part of it and it does not matter whether that person is believer or not. It was just meant to be so. People are powerless to affect it.
I believe that design plays an important role in straightening the faith of people. It implicates iconography and architecture that can create a unique feeling of divine greatness and omnipresence. In turn media plays an important role in spread of religion by propaganda of religion through printed production and TV and radio programmes.
