I've seen abandoned churches before, but I find abandoned buildings of any kind depressing, so I don't really see that as a victory.
My town is not shrinking, though. There seems to be constant development of houses and plazas cutting into more and more of the green space (it is actually one of the major problems here). So this could mean there are less religious people now.

"Sisters, you know only the north; I have traveled in the south lands. There are churches there, believe me, that cut their children too, as the people of Bolvangar did--not in the same way, but just as horribly. They cut their sexual organs, yes, both boys and girls; they cut them with knives so that they shan't feel. That is what the Church does, and every church is the same: control, destroy, obliterate every good feeling. So if a war comes, and the Church is on one side of it, we must be on the other, no matter what strange allies we find ourselves bound to."
