 Poll on Church Attendance:  If invited by a friend, Americans who don't go to church said they would attend an event to help make a neighborhood safer that is sponsored by a local Christian church rather than go to a worship service, a survey said. A total of 67 percent said they are unlikely to attend church regularly sometime in the near future.

When asked the reason why they decided not to attend church regularly, 25 percent said they only attended because their parents wanted them to; 23 percent said they lost interest, and 21 percent said they were turned off by the moral stances of the church. Twenty percent said they lost trust in the church and 20 percent said they got too busy in their life.
