That glass is a liquid at room temperature, just a very viscous one so it doesn’t appear to flow. It’s not. It’s not a crystalline solid so it has an internal structure similar to a liquid, but the structure is definitely solid at room temperature because the components are not capable of moving relative to each other like a liquid would.
It’s also not the reason church windows are thicker at the bottom, a common myth that my ex-colleague with a PhD in polymer chemistry(!) somehow bought into

Glass not being a polymer still does suggest they’re talking out of turn
