Here in the bible belt, if a church is shut down, it pretty much just stays empty unless some other religious group or denomination buys it. But, alas, if a church shuts down it's not necessarily because there are fewer religious and more atheists, but because the town is shrinking and there aren't enough dedicated church goers to support having a church. This is what happened to the church I grew up attending. The town now owns it and the church hall which is used for community events by anyone who wants to rent it. Even though there are few church goers, the ones who don't go still believe but just don't want to spend an hour every week in the pews.
But yes, every time I see an empty, abandoned church, I see it as a victory for reason.

Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
