I've long believed that too. Even in books about what we consider secular stuff, you'll have the odd Jesus here and there. But it is possible to have illustration cycles without religious scenes. In those cases, the texts makes it clear that everything still connects to Christian dogma and morality. See bestiaries, Ovide Moralisé...
