Abstract
Religion has played a major part in the history of the human race since times immemorial. Wars have been fought, and empires have been built all in the name of an unseen God. Leaders throughout the centuries, have built some of the world's most enduring architectural marvels in the honour and glory of God. Will the design of these buildings of sanctity remain untouched, or will they change, and make way for an architecture that reflects present day thought and idea?
