According to scholar Ana Wortman, in the Latin American Council of Social Sciences (2007), she achieved status of "cultural object" in the sense of cultural anthropology. Therefore, Wortman believes that some people wear her image on a T-shirt as a cultural artifact.

British academic Helen Weinreich-Haste once noted Madonna's mix of religion and sexuality, saying that "much has been written about her subversive effect on middle-class and Catholic values. [69] She is one of the world's first performers to "manipulate the juxtaposition of sexual and religious themes", said business theorist Jamie Anderson. [154] Donald C. Miller, considered is "something that set her apart from earlier female performers". [43] Due a solid popularity, Madonna's forays with religion imposed cultural concers over decades among the community. Authors Peter Levenda and Paul Krassner concurred that probably no person of the 1980s and 1990s in the American popular culture represents better the conflicting spiritual forces that Madonna. [137] "Some of the most important and interesting texts in recent U.S. culture which have overlapping concerns with liberations theologies are by Madonna", wrote religious scholar Mark D. Hulsether, in Bruce Forbes's Religion and Popular Culture in America. [138] Academic Akbar Ahmed commented that in the cases of Rushdie and Madonna, "numerous overlapping national, intellectual and cultural boundaries are being crossed". [139] Nair-Venugopal, S.
