Just look at worldwide popular culture. In my immediate vicinity in the UK nearly everyone is atheist... Church attendance is at about 9%. Yet UK stats show that 70+% state a belief in a deity. I call bollocks.
A belief in a god does not oblige someone to go to church. Neither is a believer forbidden from buying a book, whatever various shamen might say.
My stepfather was raised Catholic but, although he still believes in God, he doesn't attend masses, out of disgust for the shenanigans in the Church, especially the child abuse scandal.
