Happens at Protestant churches and towns too. It’s a cultural thing versus a life changing thing. It is sad.
Yes, for the NT is called the church of the living God, not a dead institutionalized one. Thus,
51% of Protestants from a different Protestant denomination cite a lack of spiritual fulfillment as a reason for leaving their childhood faith. 85% say they joined their current denominational faith because they enjoy the services and style of worship. Only 15% left say they left because they stopped believing in its teachings.
71% of converts from Catholicism to Protestant faith said that their spiritual needs were not being met in Catholicism, with 78% of Evangelical Protestants in particular concurring, versus 43% of those now unaffiliated. And with 46% saying the Catholic Church did not view the Bible literally enough.

And part of the NT church is community, not as an end itself but that a result of spiritual union. And the lack of which community is a weakness the devil capitalizes on in fostering false religion which keeps this as a cultural value or purposely promotes it.
The Muslim mosque (they use a different name for it) not far from here meets in the middle of weekdays during Ramadan and is packed with about 200 people, and who hang around socializing for a long time after coming outside. (But they got gospel tracts on their cars more than once, and a leader threatened to call the police when the people were offered tracts, although they generally were not hostile.)
