Even if one is going to judge this plan of his as a bad one, some would say that maybe church will rub off on him.

Who's to say? Maybe God's plan is to call him to church because one of his flock needs legal services and He's guiding your friend to him. Who's to say that's not it?

Who's to say that your friend might not get into some pro-bono stuff with the church just to "look good," and actually end up doing some REAL good. Even accedentally, he might learn something that'll change his life.

Thing is, you never know.
I gotta agree with the first part; my parents made a deal with me when I was a kid that I'd get to rent a video game for every Sunday I'd go to church and stay awake. I believe in God and I'm a good person, but I'm not a real church-goer.

I agree with the second part, too. I think his reasoning for going to church for clients is pretty piss-poor, but nobody said he can't pick up on something that may prove to be more important to him in the long run.
