Why was the Greek column invented?
I have found that the Corinthian Order of column has on it the Acanthus leaf. This is one of the oldest Mediterranean flowers and represents long, enduring life. Also, in Christianity, the thorny leaf of the Acanthus flower was known to represent pain, sin, and punishment (due to Christianity trying to get attention away from the looking toward several gods). In Mediterranean countries, it represents immortality (sorry for the spelling errors)

Where can I find good fiberglass column ?
The column is one of the most distinctive architectural structures. By including them in your home, you can give your house a flavor that is somewhat unique. Fiberglass columns are a great choice because they are durable and inexpensive. There are several different types of fiberglass columns to choose from. The decision that you make will have a strong effect on the feel of a room in your home.There are two basic types of columns: those inspired by Greek architecture and those inspired by Roman architecture. Among the Greek style fiberglass columns, there are three types. They are known as the Doric, Corinthian, and Ionic styles. Greek columns are usually fluted, meaning that they have channels carved into the main rod of the column. Traditionally speaking, their are twenty-four channels on each column, although this may be changed depending on taste.The Doric column is the oldest and least complicated style of Greek column. The top of the column is saucer shaped. It has a larger width than the rest of the fiberglass column, and it then meets with a box shape on the top. The box is then connected to whatever structure the column is supporting.In contrast to the Doric column, the Corinthian column is the most elegantly decorated and complex type of Greek column. It is also the skinniest. Leaves are carved into the top of the column. Fiberglass columns made in this style are more likely to be expensive, but they are much nicer to look at.Ionic columns, the third type of Greek influenced column, features a carved scroll in the top of the column that curls outward toward the sides.In addition to these three Greek styles, there are two more styles of fiberglass columns. These are influenced by the Romans. The first style is called the Tuscan column. It is similar to the Doric, but it is not fluted and it has no base. This is a good choice for a more minimalist style. The second type is called the composite column. Fiberglass columns made in this way combine characteristics of the Ionic and the Corinthian column.Fiberglass columns are a great way to decorate your home in a way that looks ornate but doesn’t push your budget.
What group has the most ornate churches?
As you say "church" rather than "place of worship", i guess you're referring to Christianity. Traditionally, Catholics had the most ornate churches which were then taken over by protestants then completely whitewashed. If you want the most ornate places of worship, I would suggest Sikhism, but it is impossible to generalise on such a large scale.
