Assuming 50% cost increase. 200 goldcost secular, 300 goldcost sacred. 15 turns later, 200 gold upkeep paid for secular, 150 for sacred. 200 - 150 = 50, 200 + 50 = 250. I don't see how that's a break even point. If the sacred dies in the next couple of turns, it was a worse investment (ignoring temple cost, bless etc).
