Christian Churches and Cathedrals

Churches, cathedrals, chapels, basilicas, abbeys and monasteries in this atlas's Religious and Sacred Buildings subcategory built for Christian worship or monastic life, by a wide margin the largest single tradition within this subcategory. Belongs here: any building this atlas records as a Christian place of worship or religious community, whatever its rite (Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, Protestant and others alike) and whatever its present use as an active parish, a national shrine, a museum or a UNESCO-listed monument. Does not belong here: a building serving any other world religion, gathered under this subcategory's other tradition groups, or a building whose primary character is residential or administrative even when it has a religious connection, gathered instead in Other and Multi-Faith Sites.
