Answer 1

when you are talking about architectural windows in places of worship and prayer I believe the reason for a window which is useful to see out but moreover as a way to let in the sunlight of God. Many places Catholic, Christian and Jewish have stained glass windows which is pretty in the daylight casting colored reflective shadows on the interior space and reflects color also from electric lighting and/or candles to some extent too. Some are large enough to depict people standing, some are just a few centimeters tall and wide, just one sliver of alternating colors in the wall all along the wall as in the Methodist sanctuary I grew up in. Some places, like the Mormon temples I've visited do not have windows in their main meeting hall, but in the smaller classrooms, and in the ante rooms there are windows high up along the wall or large sliding french doors that can act as windows to let in light, and are of course, doors too. Some people may say the reasoning for stained glass windows is to depict religious scenes and let in sunlight filtering thru colors, however, secondly, some people see these windows as a way to reflect on their spiritual side. Gazing at the depicted scene of some religious significance can only inspire and allow some people to feel closer to being spiritually fulfilled while in a building hearing the; discussion, dissertation, sermon, witnessing, preaching, prayers or songs.
. I'm not sure about any other religious places. But I would wager 1. they do have at least, one window, or possibly more, of some kind if they have buildings for their meetings and 2. in North America 9and a half times out of 10 we can probably assume there is some sort of plexiglass or plated glass or plastic covering as the window's substance, rather than as a hole in the wall like medieval castles letting in the breeze,the bad weather, the random birds, bugs and all the noise of the outside.
This is not to say tho' that everyone is the same. You know how it goes= this decision to add windows or not, is a decision based on what the architect was told, the planning board decided and the needs of the congregation at the time of ground breaking for their building.
