It would be a sad day if all our churches shut down.

I am not a religious person but I love to look at the old churches.
They give small villages a sense of community, somewhere to meet, have a sing song and perhaps discuss how to help some fellow villager out. It is not all about fire and brimstone.
Walking into York Minster gave me goosebumps, such a beautiful place.

As to religion and faith, I personally believe in good rather than god, but I respect anyone's right to their beliefs, just as long as they are peaceful and not thrust upon others.
Live and let live I say.
