I'm an atheist, and personally i'd hate to see some of the churches i've seen get torn down in favor of some new god/gods or whatnot. many of them are so beautiful in architecture, and represent periods of our culture and history.
i'd say most other atheists will feel the same way i do. if the religion went out the window; who cares, some other bullcrap will take its place. but some (i stress SOME, many i could give a crap about)of these buildings getting torn down because of new ideals, now that would be a sad day. that is destroying our history. not remembering history is how you repeat it.
this also plays into the realm of the addage: "i don't like what you say, but i will defend to my death the right for you to say it."
