Currently, a church in a village is made of cobblestone, is very small, and are a little boring compared to blacksmiths and houses. So what I was thinking was that churches could look like a house, but have a higher roof. There could be rows of wooden stairs for the seats, as well as a little stage and windows. Note that at night, villagers would not reside in a church, but in a house. A church could also have a chest usually containing books, bookcases, and on a rare occasion enchanted books.
A new church might liven up villages a little more, and make them look better.

If you have a problem with this idea, please say so in the comments and I will think about changing it. If you think that this idea is dumb, I will be happy to walk over to your house and fight you.

Question: How would changing churches to look like houses make them less boring?
I agree with you though that churches (and especially houses) in villages could use more decorations - chests, crafting tables, bookcases, whatever. I am skeptical of putting diamonds or other treasures in the chests though, why put several items here and there that can only be looted once when you could make villages REALLY productive? http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1926078-merchant-of-wealth-end-game-villager-trading
Other than that building sticking out like an untreated wart compared to the rest of the village, I would like to see small improvements from villages.
As long as we keep it free of all real-world religious symbols (INCLUDING crosses) I'd support this. I like your design better, it's nicer and still ambiguous.
Will there be singing and dancing in the church? I think that a small percentage of churches should be satanic churches with evil villagers that slaughter sheep to appease their dark lord.
Also while in the church some of the villagers can have a near death experience, and you have the option of giving them a full death experience, by killing them.

Whoa now buddy. I know you just got your degree in darkening bright things, but we're talking Minecraft.
I like the idea of slightly more intricate churches, but I don't like the example pictures you've provided. Churches aren't supposed to be twice as large as every other building in the village. That, and though spruce wood looks nice, it's out of place in the dominantly-oak villages.
Maybe just expanding the current churches by one block in each direction, adding oak wood pews for stairs, etc. Maybe adding some enchanted books and potions in a loot chest in the tower?
Also, the Church is the residence of the Priest villager, so it wouldn't make sense for him to not reside there. And, as everyone else in this thread has said repeated times, it would be highly advised to avoid adding any crosses to the Church.
As it stands, no support, though I might change my mind if your suggestion improves a bit.

No crosses. Minecraft is played my many people of many faiths so adding a cross on the church could lead to a backlash.
If anything make it an N as the villagers worship the god notch

I will be glad to.
If you want ostentatious churches, this is your job to do in your world.
