Depends why, though

While, as an atheist, I'd happily see all religious building razed to the ground (along with some of the religious nuts and bigots within), there is a strong case for preserving and maintaining those already built for architectural, historical and, perhaps, cultural reasons.

However, new ones (of any religious persuasion) shouldn't be built - at least not with public funds.
