I grew up attending church weekly but never considering myself religious. As an adult I don't attend but it does leave a hole in my life. That hole is having forced social interactions with members of the community each week. Without church it's much harder to keep up with what everybody is doing, making connections, and networking. It's very hard to organize and keep running secular social clubs. A lot of the infrastructure churches take for granted has to be managed manually and you're at the mercy of venue operators and have to do your own membership drives to get people to show up. It's a lot more work than most people expect.
