Here’s a question: if you don’t believe in the religion, should you be allowed to gawk at its places of worship?
I’ve always felt just the tiniest bit uncomfortable when touring religious sites – churches, temples, synagogues and the like – knowing I’m not a believer.
It gives those visits an air of voyeurism, that I’m peering in at something I’ll never be part of, and maybe it’s not welcome.
For all atheistic travellers, that must be something of a problem.
But still, there’s huge value in visiting these sites.
