BTW, in my neighborhood the Moslems built one of their mosques on the site of former ITT Computer Technology school ~ that was a coup since the architect had been a Pakistani who modeled it after the latest in Islamabad "mosque modern".

Virtually nothing needed to be changed beyond taking down the old signs and putting up the new signs.

There are a gazillion mosques in this world that WERE NOT built on the site of a temple or church. Some are. Stuff happens. An old church building is just that ~ an old church building ~ nothing particular sacred about them.

Unless someone thinks there is. Religious people get funny notions about certain buildings. Telling them there is "nothing particular sacred about them", isn't going to change their minds.
