What accounts for the differences between pagan and Christian  architecture? All pagan worship and sacrifice took place at an altar out front—outside of —the building itself. Christian churches, on the other hand, housed the Christian ritual  inside; this was important as Christianity sought to separate its worshipers from those who  were not indoctrinated. Thus, Christian worship needed to take place indoors, away from the prying eyes of passers by. In sum, the pagan building was a backdrop for the activities of its  worshipers, whereas the Christian building housed its worshipers.
