There were pigeons in the rafters, their droppings all over the overturned and broken pews. This made me sad and kind of responsible because I as an atheist have contributed to the downfall of religion. Has religion become so much a part of us that even a strong unbeliever can be moved to tears by its demise?

hmmmmmm, a twisted mind in the darkness plots..does she !!!
Looking a the posts you got the entire spectrum: from 'you are a liar to 'it's a message from God to invite Jesus into your heart.'
What is the motivation to post this question? I ask myself. hmmmmm twisted mind in darkness....that is plotting....first thought: guy or gal 'knows' that s/he is unconscious (read, darkness) and knows that his her thinking is 'different'. Which may or may not be so, those who think differently are usually secretive and don't have the feedback (read, intimacy) with others to find out that 'they ain't all that different'..but, I digress.
Plots: throws out the 'bait' of culpability and stands back to watch. hmmmmm, but, why? the image that comes into my mind is of like a pixie or imp 'laughing up its sleeve'.....aha sense of superiority, getting one over on the plebeians and goading the atheists. Luv it !!! Keep up the good work.

Oh that's so special Desiree...
It that did happen it wouldn't be the demise, but back to real fellowship in real people's houses and no stupid trappings, and more intimate as it should be so we can love eachother better (In a strictly 1 Cor 13 sense). So we can be more supportive understand eachother's struggles, and be more compassionate, I wouldn't be so sad if Churches became abandoned and "church fellowship" took place in homes...

Perhaps you had a dream giving to you, seeing whats to come from God's eyes...... Revelation is on it's way, perhaps it was at that time in revelation that all believers were taking to heaven, and the churches fell pray from some of the unbelievers. As some of the unbelievers destroy what they disliked.
God is reaching out to you, he wants to save as many as we allow him to, since we do have free way.

The demise of anything is sad. I may not be a Christian, but seeing a church in ruins, abandoned or worse, desecrated makes me unhappy.

It is a sentimentality. But you are not destroying the chirch. You simply have your eyes open and sense the wave.

Probably. It's like the loss an abused spouse feels once free of the abuser.

The Church will be here long after you have turned to dust and been forgotten. Compared to the Church of Peter,atheists are like flies at a picnic. Merely annoying.

i think so. I think that alot of people cant be happy with out hope for a hereafter, and that destroying that hope can be very distructive even if its not a hope you harber yourself.

You are a liar.
NO atheist would mourn the death of an institution that holds people back from the truth.
Take your dog-and-pony show elsewhere.
