I, too, have noticed how so many people in this country call themselves Christians but never attend church. I'd say the vast majority of so-called Christians never go to church. But, on the other hand, they seem to want to defend very strongly the idea that this is a Christian nation and support Christianity in general and are against atheism. But, also, many of them are lukewarm Christians who might believe in God & Jesus but only because of family/cultural reasons. They may not fully believe all the dogma or may not even know it at all, but still consider themselves Christian.
I think there is hope for the future since the few times I've attended church I've noticed that there are very few young adults (18-30) there. Recent polls have shown that they don't think that religion is that important as compared to older people. In fact, if you ever find yourself in a church during services, it appears that most of the people attending are in the 50+ crowd. Once those people die off, churches will be very empty places, indeed.

Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
