Church's draw is the feeling of community and acceptance that it offers. When life gets you down, the church is there to offer emotional support sprinkled with empty promises of a god that cares about your plight. It's a placebo. Once you reach a point where you can rely on yourself for 'moral support' and have the knowledge that you make (and change) your own circumstances, you will have the confidence to resist the woo.
