How is a church an event space? It should be a holy site.

small musical performance are held in old European churches

Only in deconsecrated ones, i.e. church buildings that are not used as churches anymore. They do allow non-religious music at funerals (sometimes) but that's about it

I worked for a school district that contracted with a church as a space for professional development. It’s not uncommon.

In the US? I'm not contesting that it's uncommon there, just saying that it doesn't seem very Christian. I'm not religious and I don't care, if not for the hypocrisy.

Yes - US. I was honestly uncomfortable and thought it seemed dicey to force teachers to be around all of the propaganda, but using public funds to push religion is the least unethical thing Epic Charter Schools does lol.

If ancient stained glass art is propaganda everything is. Even lack there of has meaning. It's just a big old building with gold accustics you people. Don't go to a Catholic one, I guess.

Shitty “non denominational” Protestant churches don’t have stained glass art. They have posters with political messages that should get their tax status revoked.

Actually really enjoyed all the times I’ve gone to a Catholic service - including one at the steps of Saint Peter’s Basilica. Also enjoyed a service at Westminister Abbey. Just not into the Christofascist messaging + shitty art and music that Oklahoma’s Protestant churches tend to have.
