In spite of the atheist crowd fantasizing about the end of religion, religion remains quite popular. Religiosity is declining in America, but still, lots of people go to church on Sunday. There's got to be something in it for them.There is a disconnection between the American public and the church. Those born before a certain date ('80s-'90s extrapolated) will on average continue to attend church until they die.
Those born after this date will on average not attend church from reaching adulthood.
This pattern will remain and unless something drastic happens the church will enter a terminal decline as the pre-'80s generation approaches life expectancy.
This in turn tells us that church-goers never really question the validity of attending, it's simply a routine with no actual thought applied to the act.
