Overlooked Temple: Genre Undetermined - Spec Fic

On the mountain, there was an old stone temple that had been abandoned for so long that the lichen crawling over its surface made it look as if it had just grown there. When the Truth Speakers came, they destroyed the churches and the cathedrals, the holy springs and the sacred wise-men, but they missed the old stone temple. At first, the people still scorned it, for they had not worshiped there for generations, not since their great-great-great-grandparents had moved down out of the hills, where they lived lives hardly above those of the animals that surrounded the town, and became civilized. A few holdouts still roamed the hills, but they daren't come into town. Being spat on was the least of what they should fear. They were hardly better than animals, and they were treated worse.

Inspiration: "Shake 'Em On Down" - R.L. Burnside, and a NYT.com slideshow of pictures from Bali.
Story Potential: High?
Notes: Returning to the old ways, dealing with those one has scorned. Could be interesting.
