In actuality it has nothing to do with the practice of one's religion other than to be a entral meeting place or *community center*. The church is the actual gathering of the people, NOT the place they gather in or at. Ahh but there’s the rub. the building you call a church is no more than that. a structure.

A *Church* is a gathering of believers in Christ. The place of gathering is irrelevant. The fact that the author places such import on the physical structure is hypocritical to say the least. In fact, it is very unChristian of him. I suggest he learn to follow true Christianity rather than his hate filled dogma. I find this entire hate filled article hypocritical.
