I'd like them to stay open at least as a museum/tourist attraction- there's usually a lot of art/history in those places. The problem is we'd need to find something else to replace the way religion binds communities and promotes good values; currently, most 'atheists' are just turning to a new God in the form of their Social Justice cult. Without the Bible or someone telling them what is moral, they have no principles- and it shows.
There's absolutely no reason to close a church, particularly as a museum or tourist attraction. It's also why it's imperative to read the Bible in English literature classes, even American ones. The King James Bible is literally a pillar of English literature and a center of English culture. The American folkway bibles is basically how Americans became literate.
Sure take religious propaganda out of public schools, but recognize that religion is still a major core to Western history that physically can't be ignored.
I was raised a Christian, still an atheist. I find all this outrageous.
I want all churches to close, but because nobody wants to go to them.
