as long as you pray to god and thank god for the good things in your life, then you are good, you don't need to do it in a certain building on a certain day each week.
I stopped going to church many years ago when they started telling people to stay home if they couldn't dress better to come to church. it was about wearing tee shorts and short pants of dirty work clothes to church. well that's completely against gods will, yet they chose to say and do this, then they started making rules you cant get married without going through a 6-8 month "course" to get approval to be married. maybe that was a good thing but its not "gods" teachings to do that so I stopped going to a place that was making up its own rules that were contrary to gods teachings. I never stopped praying to god and in fact I pray to god a lot more now that I don't go to church then I ever did sleeping through church every week.
