You don't have to go to church to believe or be a religous person. Those that discontinued their church treks, may have chosen to worship in their own way. If you are upset about the Catholic Church or any other denomination because of the actions of their "leaders", then just worship in your own way at your own leisure. I don't think the Bible says that you have to attend a service every week. If you believe, you believe. Show it in your own way.
As for the church paying taxes, I have to agree with irateplatypus. Most everything is donated, so why do they have to pay taxes on other people's money that has already been taxed?
