Coming from Germany to the US that's my impression as well, here churches, especially non-catholic are free to market to various demographics. In Germany people are mostly either Catholic or Protestant but generally stay home on Sunday (at least when I left 30 years ago).
What's interesting is that a lot of Germans happily pay "church tax", the two churches take in billions, which they spend on social services in addition to their own overhead. So in Germany churches are regarded as a mix of service providers (for the eldery, daycare, etc.) with a preaching service most everyone ignores.
