Well, I've seen some pretty stunning buildings, with wonderful stained glass. Not overly fond of the quietly-rotting cadavers in glass cases in some Italian churches I saw.

There is a vast amount of wonderful religious art.

As much as I love Michelangelo's Pieta in St Peter's, Donatello's Mary Magdalene in the Uffizi moved me to tears.(really)

The Book of Kells is Dublin is pretty amazing too.

Some Islamic illustrated manuscripts are sublime,as is some Islamic architecture such as the Taj Mahal.

However,I'm not entirely convinced the wonderful art makes up for the vile con game which is organised religion.
