Old churches can be beautiful. That’s true even if you, like me, are non-theistic. Europe is overrun with beautiful old churches. In the old sections of old European cities, you usually can’t walk more than a few blocks without serendipitously passing a majestic church.

If you’re going to spend all of that time and money to visit Europe (assuming you don’t already live there) without marveling over a church or two then you didn’t get full value from your time and money.
