There exist quite beautiful and inspiring round structures, some of which are even churches. There’s a beautiful Greek Orthodox Church over a century old not too far from me that is fundamentally a round structure. So, it’s not that configuration in and of itself that creates a negative reaction. The negative reaction comes from the intentional soullessness of it, the coldness and lack of love. This, I would say, was and is intentional. There exist people within your church and within other churches who are on some level hostile. That’s where the ugly comes from, it’s both spiritual and physical. Then, you have some Protestant denominations who manage to have beautiful church structures that were perhaps once inspirational and could be again, but are now less than a quarter filled with soulless people who congregate there to socialize. So, it’s not the structure in and of itself that inspires. The structure is secondary.

That's hardly possible. Are you sure this is not a traditional cross layout with rounded apses?

These are not round churches:
