Always has been. My favorite example:

George Boole (Who we get Boolean from), had a road to Damascus experience as a teenager and later wrote "An Investigation of the Laws of Thought" where we get our 0s and 1s from, and truth operations, largely to prove God is Good.

The concept of 0 and 1, absolute truth and false, was born from his spiritual views.
