12.   Music critic: Some people argue that, unlike certain works of Handel, which set to music familiar religious texts, the organ symphonies of Louis Vierne are not religious music. Quite the contrary. Sitting in Notre Dame cathedral in Paris and hearing his organ symphonies demonstrates that Vierne’s works are divinely inspired.

The music critic’s reasoning is vulnerable to criticism on the ground that it

(A) takes for granted that all religious music is inspiring

(B) confuses two different meanings of the term “religious”

(C) overlooks the possibility that some organ music is not divinely inspired

(D) confuses two different meanings of the term “symphonies”（B）

(E) takes for granted that all organ symphonies are religious music

想不明白这道题为什么选B. 请NN指教.

In opposing the argument that L's music is not religious type since it is not confined to religious text, ( such as depict the Bible story or pay tribute to the magnificent greatness of god ) the critic said, in specific surrounding, a religious effect can be arroused by listening L's music, thus implying that L's muisc belongs to religious type.

However,  even secular-themed compositions are capable of triggering religious feeling, they do not neccessarily belong to religious one.

The former one refers a kind of telepathy to god.

The latter one sets strict limitation to all things within religion.

Thanks Hedonism. In this case, Can I say that1st religious refers to "Quite the contrary" (the real religious), and then the second religious is deducted from "demonstrates that Vierne’s works are divinely inspired" (in specific surrounding, a religious effect can be arroused by listening L's music)?
