Design has a great connection with representing faith. Religious buildings are often ment to increase the bond and connect to a higher power. Often the religious buildings will have artworks that depict the theology of that religion. In some Christian churches a star like shape is often incorporated because of its appearance in the theology. Other churches will have a higher point that is ment to represent being closer to God.
Light is also important to religious buildings. Light is seen as pure and good and so it important to the design of churches. Most sanctuaries have many widows to provide natural light. This also popularized stain glass.
