"They go on to claim that this structure is `sacred` to their non-existent God.

I believe that that claim is wrong, obviously.

'Belief' is the bone of contention here, you cannot dispute 'belief' with 'belief'?

You cannot be wrong in claiming something sacred, unless you are lying. I don't find them to be lying, they believe it is sacred, and therefore it is, just as you believe them to be wrong, so therefore they 'are' (wrong), in your opinion.

AGHY!

>You cannot be wrong in claiming something sacred, unless you are lying.

That`s exactly the point that I made in my initial posting:

"It seems that if someone with religious beliefs describes something as sacred, then it is!"

>they believe it is sacred, and therefore it is...

And that`s exactly the point that gets up our non-religious, non-spiritual noses, because, although we freely accept that it is sacred to them, to us it can not be.
