FWIW I don't see this divide; I parsed it as "the Bible and the Greek and Latin classics form a canon (which I am trying to avoid calling western canon) which is both religious and secular and has a highly developed..." etc etc
It mostly just feels like a messy way to avoid referring a lump of "Western canon" ... while still contrasting Gilgamesh to/differentiating it from that canon.
