I spent pretty much all of my childhood in church, 3 days a week every week from the time I was 5 or 6 until I was 17. Not by my choice, my parents forced me to go. And that in my opinion is the worst idea ever. Forcing someone to go to church is a good way to make absolutely sure that church is the one place that they never want to be.
As soon as I realized I was old enough to make my own decision and stop going I stopped. It was never really for me. I've had several people since then take me to church with them. Several different churches, different denominations. Never was comfortable at any of them though, I just always feel like I don't belong there.
