About three out every five unchurched persons in America are self-described Christians, according to a new survey unveiled Monday.
Notably, however, a majority of these self-identified unchurched Christians hold a biblical view of God, reports The Barna Group, which conducted the survey.
According to Barna, 68 percent of unchurched, self-identified Christians believe that God is the all-knowing, all-powerful creator of the universe and that He still rules that universe today.
John Y., your brother must be getting to you? sounds like you are almost ready to Come out of the Catholic Church. There is very little reason for the great majority of Americans -- who call themselves Christians -- not to be attending a church, Why Should I Become an Active Member of a Church? As high pointed out before, is there isn't a good Christian church near you, start one.
I fear most of these people fall under the category,
Matthew 7 21 "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven.---NASB
A Christian, wherever possible, will be a member of a fully functioning church as Christ partially described in, Matthew 18:17, you cannot have church discipline without a church. 'Do Not Judge' in Context

It does not. Belonging to a church is totally superfluous to salvation. But if someone claims to be a Christian then they would have the desire to attend and belong to a church eventhough doing so is totally superfluous to ones salvation.
