That’s quite a small view of temples. Seems mainly restricted to stereotypes of Catholic/Christian abuses.

I agree. When I hear “temple”, the first thing I think of is ancient Greek, Egyptian, or Babylonian places of worship. To gods like Isis, Athena, or Enlil. After that I might think of the word being used by some Jews for the thing other Jews call synagogue or shul.

I would never call a Christian place of worship a temple. It’s a church in the generic, or sometimes more specific terms like chapel, cathedral, or monastery.
