It's not haram to step into a church, especially if ones is doing so for the sake of dawah.

I had read that to step in a church - in itself - was deemed as Makruh tahrimi in the Hanafi Madhhab, since it's considered a place of shirk and gathering of Shayatin. Are there different opinions in the school or it depends upon the presence of statues etc. (as I seemed to understand from another slightly different answer by another Mufti)?
