it could be any building. this effectively excludes those satanic rites in the forest, oui?

i have to be honest, i don't really go to the temple regularly or often. but then my parents aren't very much into that either. it's turned into a social thing in this country, and a means to project false piety in the minds of people you're trying to conform with. so often i think it's used hypocritically - "oh, he or she goes" blah etc. if u maintain some form of spiritual practice or worship in your home, should it even matter? is't it more of a societal thing? well that's my current opinion.

Mass once or twice a week.

As a 'practicing agnostic,' if you will, I don't regularly go to any church -- however, I certainly don't avoid them per se, such as when my cousins got married and the like. Indeed, I really wanted to go into the Logan Temple in Utah -- it's a beautiful building on a high ridge, the setting is marvelous -- but since I am not Mormon, I was not allowed inside. Given that the building dates back from the 1870s or so, perhaps earlier, I'd find it more intriguing to look at rather than the inside of a modern pre-fab Mormon temple...

If I'm on holiday, I'll take a look around cathedrals and that. But, nope never worshipped in a church (excluding weddings and funerals).

I am a devout atheist, so I don't go near them as places as worship, but I am a big architecture fan, so I love many religious buildings as lovely works of art.

I feel uncomfortable attending religiousish events like weddings and funerals held in churches now because I think it's hypocritical of me to go through the socially-expected motions (reading along, standing up sitting down, paying a modicum of attention) if I don't mean it.
