Orthodoxy has the best looking interior.
For exterior, it's hard to say, only some churches look really impressive from the outside. For example Sagrada Senpaiília and Saint Basil's both look very impressive.
Props for using the Serbian Saint Sava temple, but it's not finished. You could have chosen many Bulgarian, Serbian, Ukrainian churches etc. Personally i think Ukrainian churches have the best dome design. You could have gone for a more medieval one, a one that's red, to fit the color of the mecha.
Btw, which /m/echa is it?

Depends on your criteria. Orthodoxy uses very different criteria from everyone else, it's sort of like trying to compare the aesthetics of Psalms to other kinds of poetry. Catholics generally just apply the aesthetics of the Zeitgeist to sacred subjects. And Protestant aesthetics vary immensely between denominations.

Catholic, obviously. Best architecture in the world since at least 1200 AD, best paintings since the 14th century, best sculpture since the 15th.

Orthodox can be pretty nice but they never really improved on the Hagia Sofia. It's basically watered down Roman architecture, unlike Catholic architecture which built on Roman foundations to create something even better.

Protestant shit is just Catholic stuff with all the good taken out of it.

Catholic style is stuck in 16th century gaudiness or disingenuous modernism. Orthodox style is more resemblant of medieval Christianity. The difference between Eastern and Oriental Orthodox is that Eastern Orthodox Churches resemble Roman civic structures more while Oriental Orthodox styles are more showy or sensational in any case. Protestants basically use Gothic style without the iconography and relief carving and Baptist, Evangelical, and Fundamentalist structures tend to be bare and unadorned.

Those suburban houses are absolutely cancerous and should be demolished to the last.

Catholics have the best aesthetics but soon it won't matter as all the new churches will be modernist and all the old one will be converted into refugee shelters and mosques in the future or sold to build more refugee shelters.

Wooden churches can look good, but for some reason i can't stand protestant ones.
They look like someone's house from the suburbs rather than a place of worship.
Pic related, wooden orthodox churches in Romania build as a response against the prohibition of Austro-Hungary to erect stone orthodox churches.

Gothic architecture has almost nothing to do with "Roman" architecture.

On the other hand, Orthodox (and even Ottoman) styles are a direct evolution of "Roman" (Byzantine) architecture.

Protestants are the most aesthetic Christians.
Modern Catholicism and Anglicism provides the superior churches though. The use of white, the sweeping curves that look like the wings of a dove, it's all on point.

Catholicism has the most aesthetic morality and teachings.

For architecture, it's a tie between Orthodoxy and Catholicism.

This.
A bored atheist might prefer Catholic aesthetics but from a Christian point of view, I prefer minimalism to get my focus on Christ.

>Gothic grows out of Romanesque
>Romanesque grows out of Ottonian/Carolongian
>Ottonian/Carolingian grows out of Byzantine

Western, Orthodox and western Islam architecture all grew out of Roman architecture, it's just less obvious with Western stuff because they actually innovated instead of copying the same old styles for centuries (at least until the Renaissance).
