Not what I meant.
Ever travel overseas? No matter where you go, your an American. Don't need to be in the US to be one. But, when you need the support of the US, you go to the embassy cause that's where you get that support. Religious people feel the same way about their house of worship. It's where they believe they get the support they need.
The church grounds are held sacred in the same way, and for much the same reason, as the ground under an embassy is considered sovereign land.
