How are churches and religion generally perceived in the U.S.? This question is open to everyone, believers, atheists, agnostics, or anyone else.

Even if you are not religious, is there something about religion that interests you? It could be the symbolism, architecture, philosophy, traditions, atmosphere, or sense of community.

And hypothetically, if you saw a story inspired by religion, written, animated, or cinematic — what aspect would interest you the most?

First, this is a question open to everyone, whether you’re religious, atheist, agnostic, spiritual, or anything else, so feel free to share your perspective.

I’m curious about how Americans emotionally or culturally associate certain languages with religion, especially in things like cathedrals, churches, confessionals, choirs, or liturgy. For example, Latin often feels ancient and sacred, French can sound elegant, German feels solemn or gothic, and Italian feels artistic or closely tied to the Vatican. Do different languages create different atmospheres for you in religious contexts, even if you’re not religious yourself?
