Wait, did I read you correctly, Kev? Are you suggesting that believers should get an education?

church
tʃəːtʃ/Submit
noun
1.
a building used for public Christian worship.
The Oxford English dictionary is the premier source for English-language reference. It's a pity you weren't honest enough to quote the entire definition, or link to it. Here's the rest of that entry:
the OED Wrote:Definition of church in English:
NOUN
1A building used for public Christian worship:
they came to church with me
1.1 (usually Church) A particular Christian organization, typically one with its own clergy, buildings, and distinctive doctrines:
the Church of England
1.2 (the Church) The hierarchy of clergy of a Christian organization, especially the Roman Catholic Church or the Church of England.
1.3 Institutionalized religion as a political or social force:
the separation of church and state

And notice what they use as the example sentence. The only way that definition could more clearly indicate that you are wrong would be to address you by your proper name. "Church" does not mean only Christian buildings or organizations.
You see, words have different connotations and denotations. As you go about getting that education that Kevin advised for you, be sure you add an English class or two to that schedule, because you're clearly deficient in the field. A class in ethics couldn't hurt, either.
