I think you should get your terminology straight (in the article you linked to). You are talking about "making something into scripture", obviously meaning "holding something as divinely inspired and therefore infallible".
You also talk about the varois "bibles" of the world/religions. The term you're looking for is "sacred scriputes". "Bible" refers usually to the book Christians hold sacred. Jews would talk about the Five Books of Moses and Muslims about the Koran, for example.

Apart from that, you do simply state that something is sacred/inspired to us if we regard it as such.
Is that new? Not really.
