This is a neat story out of Germany.

In the town of Stiege, there’s an old wooden church — a “stave” church — that’s over a century old. There aren’t many churches like it left. But because this particular one is in a forest, it’s more susceptible to vandalism and destruction. The only way to save it is to move it somewhere where it can been preserved.

It turns out the people who are making that happen… are atheists. Hans Powalla, a non-believer, is one of the leaders of the Stiege Stave Church Association, which has spearheaded the relocation of this particular building.
