The categorization system is primarily concerned with presentation within a frontend. E.g. a GenBook with category Bible would be treated/displayed as a Bible (not that we've implemented this in .confs yet), an LD module with type DailyDevotional would display mm.dd keys using localized date formats, etc.

It seems like what you're talking about is subject specification, which we deal with via the LCSH field (which is repeatable, though we've never done so). I'm amenable to adding a CCELSH field (also repeatable) as well, for CCEL subjects, since they are more focused on Christian literature.

A lot of our material can also be found at CCEL or directly derives from their material, so copying such entries over would be a bit of work but not require much editorial insight. The LCSH values are, as ever, available via the Library of Congress catalog website, catalog.loc.gov.
