I have been inside a couple of Catholic cathedrals and an Anglican one, just out of curiosity. However it wasn't when any services were on mind you.

I'd love to visit Rome, but I'd have to bleach my entire body afterwards. It'd be worth it for art and architecture though.
Just disconnect yourself from the art and the organisation which sponsored it. Back when that art was being made apart from the aristocrats and the emerging merchant classes, the church were the only other sponsors for artists and they often requested that religious works be commissioned for obvious reasons.
