According to a 2008 survey, about 75% of Americans claim to belong to some Christian denomination. According to a 2007 Gallup survey in which people were asked how often they went to church, about 40% of the American population say they go to religious services almost every or every weekend. Studies have shown that Americans tend to over-report their religious attendance, most likely as a way of showing patriotism or social conformity, which is a lot stronger in America than other industrialized nations. Another survey which more concretely calculated the average attendance of a number of congregations lowered the percentage to only about 20%. This means that Americans are a lot less religious than they claim to be. The numbers are a lot less in other industrialized nations. In Canada, Australia, and countries in Europe, such as the UK, less than 20% of the population may attend religious services every week.

Why do christians regard a church as a means of salvation through action?

They Don't. no one can earn salvation through actions. The church was made by Jesus Christ as a place and time to worship the father and have encouragement from fellow brothers in Christ, also on the first day of the week it's a time to reflect on the sacrifice that Jesus made to save us from our sins. Church means, An Assembly of Christians. Not the building that has the steeple. Many people mestake the Church as being the place of worship not the people themselfs.
