Are there any jurisdictions where a religious texts have been refused
a copyright for reason of being divine?

There are a few legal cases about copyright of religious texts where
the copyright has been given to the 'medium' / 'channeler'.

And there is the crown hold copyright on KJV, in perpetuity.
