Do you really think that God is really honored by someone attending church just because they are "satisfying a requirement"?

As opposed to totally ignoring God, yes. Attending Church as an "obligation" is the lowest form of devotion one can show toward the Creator. But it is a form of devotion.

That is not showing devotion toward God, it's bowing to social and cultural pressures.

A person that is truly a Christian (a very tiny percentage of those who say they are really are) will feel excitement when going to church. A person who dreads it, isn't really a Christian - he is just a person that has been indoctrinated.

Unreal.
