I have a question, it is kind of silly, but... Does the Holy Element or Divine Element always have to do with God or Christianity of any sort?
Thank you.

Yes.
The Bible states that anyone who possesses the Holy Spirit is holy. The Bible speaks of a holy man of God, holy ones, a holy people, a holy nation, and holy brothers.
That is why Mary is blessed (holy). The angel Gabriel called her, "Full of grace" and, "The Lord is with you."
With love in Christ.

That depends. The word itself does not denote God, but it denotes one greater than man in general.
1. specially recognized as or declared sacred by religious use or authority; consecrated: holy ground.
2. dedicated or devoted to the service of God, the church, or religion: a holy man.
3. saintly; godly; pious; devout: a holy life.
4. having a spiritually pure quality: a holy love.
5. entitled to worship or veneration as or as if sacred: a holy relic.
6. religious: holy rites.
7. inspiring fear, awe, or grave distress: The director, when angry, is a holy terror.
–noun 8. a place of worship; sacred place; sanctuary.
---------------------
—Synonyms 1. blessed. Holy, sacred, consecrated, hallowed imply possession of a sanctity that is the object of religious veneration. Holy refers to the divine, that which has its sanctity directly from God or is connected with Him: Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. Something that is sacred, while sometimes accepted as entitled to religious veneration, may have its sanctity from human authority: a sacred oath. Something that is consecrated is specially or formally dedicated to some religious use: a life consecrated to service. Something that is hallowed has been made holy by being worshiped: a hallowed shrine. 4. spiritual.
—Antonyms 3, 4. corrupt, impious.

Only God is holy.

Christians believe that only God is holy. They believe that humans USED to be holy and perfect, but since we decided to go our own way and reject what was right and wrong, humans are no longer holy and perfect like God.

Holy is always in reference to God being he is the only one that is Holy.

Do you even know what Holy means ? It means pure,clean,without stain. Be ye holy as I am holy. Yes this pertains to God.

By definition I would have to say yes. God or in connection with god. But not necessarily Christian.
