back on the other side
This all just reminds me of some daft post a while ago that butchersapron ripped into, by some daftie who said they never visit churches or cathedrals because they don't like Christianity.
Many people have very real emotional reasons never to want to set foot in a church. A visceral dislike (detestation) of certain organised religion is more common than you might imagine, especially outside of England - Its harder to relate to that in C of E land, where most peoples experience of churches tends to be benign and dislike of religion theoretical. Peoples feelings about this cant be theorised as right or wrong from an objective distance.
Extreme example, see how many indigenous canadians want to look around churches.
Personally there are some churches/mosques I might go in for a peak, but many others I won't, or I have had to walk out sharpish from weddings etc. <and ended up in a surprisingly large group of other people who couldn't handle being in there (not in the UK). Nothing daft about that.
I've no idea what the original post was you referred to and cant be arsed to talk about it more or justify my feelings, though I think you should try on the emotion of just how deeply people can dislike churches, enough not to want to go in them.
