Does going to church change people or do people change people? does me not going to church make me a bad person even though i believe in god?

Not a medical ? but: This is not a "medical question" with an objective answer, though research does suggest that those who are spiritual and feel a connection with god do have better health. I believe a connection with spirituality is essential for optimal health. But i also believe going to church has little to do with one's spiritual beliefs and not going to church does not make one a bad person at all!
