Concrete has the "advantage" of being un-recyclable. If you build your temple from stone blocks then it can be dismantled and re-used to build homes or heathen temples. Trying to disassemble a concrete structure will only yield either a crumbling mess, or a fireworks show in the case of implosion.
Ghost towns built from wood disappear after a couple generations. Youtube has some wonderful videos of people exploring abandoned soviet era concrete structures that I can stronlgy recommend.
I have considered advocating for the placement of concrete tubes as an alternative for tent cities, but concluded that it would backfire poltically.
Not totally unrecyclable. You can crush concrete and re-use it as aggregate for other concrete, I think.
Not sure if you can re-kiln it to extract fresh lime, but that seems possible in principle. Might just not be worth it right now, given the availability of limestone deposits.
Recycling is not always better than alternatives, it's just one option among many. If the economics don't make sense then there's no reason to do it.
