A temple is a sanctuary for many and the churches in this collection are sure to make your head turn. Whatever religion you may be, you will definitely enjoy this series of unconventional churches, from shocking signs to modern designs.
Implications - Pop culture and technology have made this generation an indulgent one, with the value of religion lessening for many consumers. This has resulted in an array of unconventional approaches to the concept of faith, with consumers seeking alternative religions that lighten up on the rules and restrictions. In turn, religious organizations are altering their approach by attempting humor, modern messages and a more lax attitude towards those who do not believe.
