I actually think it's a good idea, a way to get all the + of church with the -
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

If your a member yes, they give people a sense of belonging and often time they'll people engaged in the community activities such as donation drives, and those often give a purpose to people who need one. Also many churches support outreach projects like rehab programs or soup kitchens.

If you have to get up just as early then I say, "Fuck it!" Or whatever I manage to mumble out as I turn around and go back to sleep.

One of the benefits of being in a religion is the sense of community. Some people like it - in fact I am sure a lot of people go to church/synagogue/temple W.H.Y. simply for that.
This is something that is missing in atheism.
As long as it is optional I see no harm.
Gotta say - not really for me either but YMMV.

Well I don't think one of those "churches" will be set up anywhere near where I live, so I guess I can continue to sleep in on Sunday mornings.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
