As for me I go to the church every Sunday (holiday) To tell the truth - TRAYING to go.
To my mind today the priests are well-known and respected people, too.

Hello! we have a lot of religions all over the world and every person have choice to choose which one he or she like or it suits him or her more. I think that people are not less religious nowadays because it depends on:

First of all what kind of person are you? Many people ask for help the god when they are in trouble, and they have hope that God will help. Woman men children come to the church and many of them found relaxation and calmness.

Second it depends on technical progress. A lot of people think that they can pray and have a conversation with priests, other prayers only in church but it isnt so, in internet you can chat and share your feelings and emotions, also you can pray at home and in any place where you can find silence.
