The only churches which stand a fighting chance into the future when Christianity, especially Catholicism and Orthodoxy largely dies out in America are the most beautiful cathedrals and churches located in big cities. Unfortunately, even if a church is preserved and used for something else the Catholic Church usually takes out all the artwork and stained glass windows, so they lose all their majesty even if the exteriors are preserved. It's been projected that Christianity will largely be non existent in America by 2100, hopefully by then they wisen up and preserve these places. I'm hoping that eventually production of materials becomes so cheap via printing that these places can be recreated or easily preserved once humanity ascends into some Star Trek like future where money no longer exists, and society is largely freed from work. For the time being, more and more history will be lost in America and there's not much we can do about it, except take photos before they are lost.
