Largest town/hamlet without a chapel or church?

[thewobbler]

For no good reason at all I've been pondering where you might find the largest town in Ireland (or the world) that doesn't have a place of religious worship.

Google seems to be struggling with this one. I doubt though we'd get to a four figure settlement before the proponents of the God fella get involved.

Anyone able to shine any local knowledge?

*at least in the sense of the 'Abrahamic religions'. Obviously there are lots of traditional temples.

There is a doc on netflix about NK, he was brought to mass to prove that they allowed religion. Not one person involved knew the words.
