I have an alternate interpretation of this data (if true). It says once or more a year, so that simply means they are probably going to church with their family because the family is still religious, and they have to because it's a holiday like Christmas or Easter.
They also should of asked them if they did it because they wanted to or are obligated to. This is just another meaningless study that also suffers from way-too-f***ing-small-of-a-sample-size syndrome. It had 275 people? That is seriously not enough.

I was thinking it means they married a liberal Christian that only makes them go on holidays. Either that or somebody else in their family, as most people have some religious family members.

"Sisters, you know only the north; I have traveled in the south lands. There are churches there, believe me, that cut their children too, as the people of Bolvangar did--not in the same way, but just as horribly. They cut their sexual organs, yes, both boys and girls; they cut them with knives so that they shan't feel. That is what the Church does, and every church is the same: control, destroy, obliterate every good feeling. So if a war comes, and the Church is on one side of it, we must be on the other, no matter what strange allies we find ourselves bound to."
