A great deal of attending church gatherings has to do with social attachments. People think they are worshipping God by going to church but many are doing something else and don't even know it.
Even in the midst of the Coronavirus of 2020, and the order for "social distancing", many continue to gather at their church groups. I'm sure they consider it a lack of faith not to attend. But often they are just craving social action in a period of extreme and unusual inactivity.
I doubt there are many "real" Christians out there in churches anyway.
For the real Christians, we know it has to do with hearing from God by HIS Word and following God. You can do that wherever you are.
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Romans 8:14
