Kind of strange attending a church, where upon seeing the structure you think to yourself
“What the Hell is that?”

OT; but I think this is one of the most beautiful churches I've seen- the Methodist church on the bay front in Corpus Christi, Tx. (mainly due to the statue of Christ in front, 'It Is I', by Kent Ulberg.
This is a photo I took of it looking out to sea:
Years ago there was a wonderful project underway to build a massive statue of Christ (similiar to the one in Rio) to on the high bluff downtown, but the Libs finally voted it down.

Ugliest church in NY is the building that replaced the one my father knew as his boyhood parish: St John the Evangelist. It’s better known today as 1011 First Avenue, headquarters of the NY Archdiocese. It had the misfortune of sitting on prime midtown real estate.

We have a Catholic and an Episcopal cathedral here. Both built in the 70s. Both hideous.

The first has a striking resemblance to a WWII bunker.

The earlier entries, when it first started, are hilarious.

Yup, those are ugly.
But I'd like to offer this former Episcopal Cathedral in Michigan. The diocese was so broke, they had to sell the place.
The website I found it on declares it Giant Dead Spider, a/k/a Far And Away The Ugliest Church Building In The Entire History Of Christianity From The Ascension Of Christ Into Heaven Until The Present Day.

I am very familiar with the 4th one down...It’s a Catholic church...Inside looks just like the outside...Give you the feeling the walls are going to fall on you...Weird...

To Cincinnati’s eternal shame, our own Solid Rock Church tops the list. God thought the 50-ft. statue of Jesus so hideous, he struck it with lightning http://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/9786. These chuckleheads actually had the effrontery to rebuild it.

I have no idea how St. Mary's in San Francisco, Christ the Light in Oakland, and Guardian Angel in Vegas made it on the list and this cathedral didn't:
Our Lady of the Angels, Los Angeles.
Pray for earthquake.
