Given what I know of evangelicals in general, that would seem to be as far from the case as possible. Nor would they be described as not loving and caring about their faith.
As Hume has noted, in so far as an analogy departs in the specifics of how the things are similar, it loses credibility until the point at which it is no longer a credible argument. I think you've reached that point.
The point was not the once a year attendance, it was lack of understanding to what is supposed to be of great importance in one's life
