      Slightly different, but related. Christian churches were often built on pagan worship sites. This is frequently the case for churches dedicated to St. Michael in the British Isles.
      .
      That’s as much an appropriation as a destruction. Traditions were meshed by Christian appropriation in the American Southwest as well. Probably sites were appropriated too, but that’s a little harder to know.
