I think for some. myself included find church and Christians more of a political animal and behavior more akin to pharisees. My wife still attends and I will at weddings and baptism. It doesn’t mean I’m playing in to the enemy’s hands. It means for me, being in that environment does not enhance my faith, it diminishes it.
It is Jesus who set up the church. He gives divine instruction for its operation (much instruction in the apostolic writings as well as examples). That is where He has us gather and we are not to “forsake the assembly of believers). If we disobey Him, we are not doing well, even if we feel like we are.
I don’t say go to a terrible church. But there were some pretty bad things recorded about the early church at times and the Lord still expected us there and the apostles still ministered and led worship etc. so we don’t get to forsake.
