No doubt.

However although I don’t view the buildings as holy, I have a great respect for the unique aesthetic, and architectural language that is unique to Churches. For me in particular the Byzantine and it’s many orthodox revolutions.

This thread is not about theology. Please take that elsewhere. It is about art.

True. But most modern churches just aren’t awe-inspiring any more.
