I share my position with this quote from Thomas Paine:

"All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit".

Churches only serve the clergy, IMO people should strive to look after their own lives without them. 

I go to church sometimes because my mom likes it when I go, but I'm not particularly religious and even if I was, I don't believe you need to go to a church to be close to God.
