Currently NO.
As a kid I was forced to by my parents until sometime during my teens. It was the way things were. Usually my Mom would give a wake up call, which meant I had about 1/2 hour to get ready. Once when I was 11 or 12 (maybe younger? I don't remember my exact age) when my Dad came in for an update wake up I was still lounging in bed and in a smart aleck move I stuck my leg(s) out from under the sheets to show I "making progress". When I still wasn't up when it was time to leave they let it slide that time only. It wasn't until I was about 16 or 17 attendance was optional. Eventually I stopped going. Going away for college was also a factor.
I've never been "religious". Can't stand the ritual of services. During hymns I get choked up on the words sometimes. I sometimes have thought of myself as "spiritual".

Not in many decades. When I was young I used to go with my mother (my father would stay at home) without questioning it. When I was in my early teens I started to wish I didn’t have to go, but for quite some I didn’t know how to tell my mother that I didn’t want to go anymore. Then at some point I had a brilliant idea: we always used to go to the Sunday 6 PM service. I made up a story about not wanting to go at that time because it coincided with a TV program I wanted to watch, so I would go to the Saturday service instead. On Saturdays I would go out, walk around the neighbourhood and come back home an hour later, and then on Sundays I would stay at home. At the time I was sure I was fooling my mother, but in hindsight I am pretty sure she knew that I was just making it up to avoid going to church. She never confronted me about it though.
I was raised as a Roman Catholic but I have been an atheist my entire adult life.

Yes. I strayed away during college but got back into it when I got married. I was raised Presbyterian and then Methodist. I'm back at the Methodist church. Outside of their big push for prohibition in the 19th and early 20th century it's a laid back denomination. It was also very influential in pushing for abolition in the USA and the ending of the slave trade by England.

Hell no.
What a waste of time.
If I believed in a divinity I should be able to acknowledge such a being from anywhere (ignoring the question of why something so absolute and cosmic would care whether I acknowledged their presence in thought--wouldn't it be busy making supernovas or something?).
On the other hand I do understand why people would seek a community comfort from attending such institutional arrangements.
But for me, I do as the squirrels do.
A squirrel chewing on a peanut is closer to divine communion than chewing on a soda cracker in a church pew, IMO.
