I'm not saying you have to go to church to be a Christian - I'm saying the opposite, that you don't have to go to church to be a Christian because being a Christian (for most, not all) consists of the following creed:

"Jesus is the Saviour, but that doesn't pay the bills."

You may be much more pious than the common, non-churchgoing Christian. If so, good for you (despite my disbelief, I can respect that you have your reasons for belief). That doesn't invalidate my central point, which is that the majority of Christians are no more than believers from convenience and apathy.
