In the religion of Christianity, why is it considered okay to build churches in places they shouldn’t be like Native American reservations or the ruins of temples in Greece? Like I would never destroy a Christian church why does it have to hurt others

Anthropology tells us that looking at religious sites will have layers and layers of past religion that got built over it. The moral center of a society is its religious bodies. That is why religious structures are typically better built than the homes and other buildings around it. What that means is overtime it’s from the shamans to now pastors or priests.

Because it’s colonial and depends on taking from others to sustain itself.
