IMO E

I am confused between D and E .eventhough my answ was E

Some of the buildings actually designed for them-can any one tell me why them is wrong it can be people (bcoz the sentence starts with those who)
Some of the buildings actaully designed for it(clearly refers to religion)

@subgeeth - I think it is because 'those' is the subject of the previous clause and 'it / them' appears too far to refer to 'those'. The closest noun is 'religion'...

the sentence also says "instead of by some" which is akward...

also i think such is better when quoting examples...

I chose E for "better .... than .... " costruction
"better served by such adapted spaces than by some of the buildings actually designed for it".

There are other fixes in E too

1. designed for it clearly refers to the religion
2. the costruction such adapted places is idiomatic. It generalizes the two examples, an auditorium or a storefront
