Many religions deem artifacts and historical places as an important treasure, a value to the religion itself. Although there is no sense in this. These are, at best, merely symbols of lessons – and it is these lessons that are important. Hence, there is no greater heresy than to violate the moral teachings of a religion in order to protect physical artifacts of the religion. In other words, those that believe in wars over a Holy land, or Holy Grail are really missing the whole point of their religion – and are its worst students.
