Some mosques, synangogues and buddhist temples are pretty outlandish too.

The problem with huge churches is that there's less of a community feeling. People in a congregation of 500 people are likely to know the pastor and staff quite well, and also feel morally obligated to contribute more to the church, while some people who just go to church out of fear (whether or not they admit it) feel they won't be noticed if they don't contribute when each mass has 25,000 people there.
