Until 300AD it WAS the same thing. Where did Jesus charge the Apostles to go build a stone edifice?
There are still many millions of Americans who hold to this belief. Some who worship/pray on Friday evening through Saturday Sundown even place bounds around their whole neighborhood so they can go outside and walk around beyond their yard or apartment.
There are variations for a number of non Judeo-Christian religions but the concept is pretty much the same.
It is not the privilege of government in America to speak up about these practices.
oh are wee going back prior to 300 AD? We can regress past the 6th century muslims.
