Here is, as far as I can remember, the complete list of religious services I have attended:
- My grandma's funeral (Roman Catholic) - The religious service portion of two bat mitzvahs (Reform Jewish) - Something at a Hindu temple when I was in India that I didn't really understand because it was all in Hindi but involved guided prayer and getting bindis applied to our faces but may not have been a full religious service - Also technically my own baptism (Lutheran), but obviously I was too young to remember
As to whether I would go to a service, my answer for pretty much all of these is "if someone I knew personally invited me to one, sure." The only real exceptions are Scientology, since I assume that would involve me paying them money, which I wouldn't want to do, and Nation of Islam, since there's basically no wing of it that isn't openly and politically racist and anti-Semitic. But "attend" implies "regularly," which would narrow it down the scenarios to basically "if I was married to someone who had a religious service as a major part of their life, didn't mind me being irreligious, but also wanted me to go to services with them, and the place they attended didn't mind me regularly being there as a non-member" So, seems pretty unlikely on balance, but not totally impossible.
