Citizen & Surely(!)

Faith and piety are ten a penny ; masonry, knowledge and intelligence have been the main engines of achieving this stunning structure : not a single deity lifted a single block of stone in the construction of this edifice. All it will take to complete the project is money and energy : again, not a single deity involved!!!!

A sense of unity and empathy certainly exists amongst the artisans involved in the work : but these are humanitarian qualities, not religious diktats!! Altitude does not confer religious significance : e.g. the Eiffel Tower? I don't believe there is a religious cult that worships this specific structure???

As for a patron saint of architects : a pious candidate from the architectural profession could easily be found : the list is qualifying individuals is huge : St James of Stirling???? Others exist : St Seifert, St Goldfinger, St Corbusier : but you can't have Jewish Saints? I'll have a large whiskey please!!! Ah! St Norman of Nimes!!!!!!---when he's dead!!
