"Paintings are found in churches. That does not mean that all painting have something to do with religion. "

Yes the RA found outwith monuments may have an entirely different function .

"The paintings found in churches may have something to do with religion, but we can only say that they do because we know the iconography of the religion of churches and more importantly we know that churches are definitely religious buildings. We know neither of these facts about passage tombs etc."

I think it is fair to say that the major monuments that have RA in their structure ,whatever their purpose , were extremely important to the builders, and as the RA is found in large numbers and in some of the most important areas of the structures there is an importance by association . What we do know of those monuments is that there is at least a slight connection with some mortuary practices they were , if not tombs then "places of transformation" surely it all adds up to not a kick in the arse away from the R words
