Agreed. The phrase "temple for atheism" is as oxymoronic as it gets, but there's something interesting in the article somewhere, and that's why I posted it. I just don't think the author did us the service of sussing out a potentially fruitful discussion. I think that Humanism is definitely a better word choice for the latent concepts. Ideas of monumentality and preservation are interesting when we hold them up to a secular light. And the Temple of Perspective? Didn't Zumthor already do that: http://artkitectorialist.blogspot.com/2011/10/peter-zumthor....
