What are the similarities between a church and a mosque?

Answer 1

It depends on the religion that worships in the church or temple. Both churches and temple are buildings where religious worship is held. In some religions, a church and a temple are the same thing. (for example, there are Christian churches with names such as "Bible Temple") In some religions, a both temples and churches are used, but they are different. (for example, in Mormonism, a church is where regular Sunday services and activities are held, but a temple is used for special ceremonies). In other religions, worship takes place in either a church or a temple (for example, in most Christian denominations, the place of worship is called a church, but most Jews call their place of worship a synogogue or temple rather than a church.)
