Obviously, first and foremost ... everyone has a different personal experience, and I respect that. With that said, my wife and I have unambiguously had a positive experience since we started attending church again. She was a lapsed Catholic that probably had not been since she was in early college, and I was a not-quite-lapsed Lutheran (never attended church because my parents stopped going to their church back home because they thought it became too liberal, and I was pretty much a C&E Club attendee at that point).
We both started going again when she got pregnant last summer, because we wanted our son baptized. It has been a truly great experience, and I genuinely have enjoyed my Sundays (complete with a nice, boozy post-church brunch) much more than before. While I do indeed accept the historic and philosophical claims of Christianity as true (at least the major ones, anyway, like the Resurrection), I indeed think that the experience of belonging to and attending a church of your preference is positive for the great majority of people. I would argue that the Religious Nones I know personally who do not attend a church have pretty much tried to fill that void with other exercises in trying to find a communal belonging and/or "spiritual" meaning that have not been quite as effective.
Congrats on the kid!
