Religion in America slips....

I will say though that without religion in our cultures we would have been deprived of some wonderful buildings, which I do appreciate, some churches I have been in have a peace beyond understanding.

Our current burgeoning religion "Capitalism" only produces monstrous buildings, where only bankers are allowed to worship at their altar/screens. I can't imagine there is much peace to be found in them either, and the wars, poverty and deaths they are causing exceeds previous religions in my opinion.

I agree with you about the architecture. Cathedrals are wonderful things. I have a David Macauley book and tape on their building. Not just Cathedrals. I love Mosques with all of their tile and marble ornament. We could include all of the rest, right back through the Greek temples, and even some of those great cave paintings may have had religious significance.

The halls of capitalism may be dull and sterile, but, modern Tokyo, China, and the Sydney Opera House are worth a look. Then there are the incredible buildings in Dubai. Capitalism gone wild.

There's a lot to see in this world for those who look.
