Religions – no matter how much they adhere to principles of poverty – have produced some of the most magnificent pieces of architecture in man’s history. Using our Top 10 Organized Religions and their Core Beliefs as a source for the religions chosen to be shown here, we have found images of the most incredible and significant building and temples for each.

For the sake of brevity I have not described each religion – see the original list for a more detailed explanation.

In what is probably his most famous moment he stood in judgement of Jesus Christ when Pontius Pilate felt incapable of the task.
