But look at attendances at different churches around the locality - I acknowledge it isn't as high as was once experienced, but reading newspapers and especially comments on other boards, you would think no one attended at all.

It is dwindling, but at important stages of people's life, birth, weddings and funerals, people turn back to religion.
