I think you have to understand that for a significant part of history, belief in a specific religion has been manditory, regardless of your personal opinions, and that religion has been used to manipulate and control countless populations. You may be right to say this is wrong, but you should also recognise that it happens and possibly did happen during the times that we are studying and should therefore be acknowledged.

It is wrong to dismiss religion as a motive for building a monument. If you cannot relate to that being a reason to build a monument then you may not be able to understand it. Then again, you might be!
