Going to church is a public display of your faith.
I go twice a month, depends on what I'm up to later that day, that doesn't make me any less a Christian than someone who goes once a day, or any more a Christian than someone who never goes, so the 'you need to be a churchgoer in order to be a Christian' analogy doesn't really count does it?

I think it does.
The point is you go regularly to church - 95% of the country does not.
The church is now somewhere where the vast majority of people only go for weddings baptisms and fulnerals.
Yet strangely they call themselves "Christians" in a vague racial manner.
Ask them if they pray - they'll look at you in an embarassed way and change the subject.
Yet they all want their little darlings to be the angel Gabriel in the Nativity play.
It's just mindless attachment to tradition for the sake of it.

Jake, 'You're the ones in Rome.' That's a sad statement and probably sums up the demise of Christmas well. I don't go to Church, I'm not a 'Christian' in the strict sense of the word, but I like the tradition of Christmas (wherever it springs from). Christmas isn't being undermined by people of other religions - it's being undermined by politically correct indiginous Brits who seem eager to embrace every culture's traditions but their own. In the process their attitude does the ethnic minorities no favours at all, since people tend to blame them instead of those who are actually culpable, and all it causes is resentment and racial tension. I don't believe Christmas offends people who are not Christian, but, sadly, it does appear to offend politically correct Brits who may feel they're fighting the cause of ethnic minorities, but who are, in actual fact, doing a great deal of harm to community relations.
