Debate - Can an edifice represent a faith adequately?

According to me at a broader level religion is a sociological exercise where people with some common ground meet and feel the need to reflect.

Can an edifice, however imposing, adequately represent a complex ideology like a faith?

Can it encapsulate human emotions and provide a channel for connecting with the Unknown?

Can't we worship in the open, like some of our pristine ancestors?

Apart from providing a common space for assembly, is there any deeper import of this place of congregation?
