I consider myself somewhat religious, but VERY RARELY go to a church. My feeling is that God gave the gift of weapon craftsmanship to some, just like the ability to be a doctor. So I would have no problem going into a place of worship armed. I might go concealed just to ensure that my presence didn't take away from the message being presented. Look at the events that took place in Colorado in 2007:

No problem.

I had several others, but I left out those where there were no deaths (except naked guy), or where I couldn't reduce the facts to a few sentence fragments.

I did not include shooters who were killed in the death tolls, either.

Everybody has to make their own choices about when and where they carry.

If your religious institution does not allow you to carry, I understand those who choose to attend services unarmed.

I also understand that bullet-resistant vests are fairly ineffective against head shots, so keep your head down when the shooting starts.
