What turns me off about church is, well, church itself. Your faith is supposed to be your faith... you shouldn't need to congregate with a bunch of gossipping hypocrits in some glorious building, listening to some guy preach HIS version of the gospel. You got the Book (or a version of it) and you have your family and a home. Stay there, live your lives in peace and harmony.
Let the two faced people pass the plate around.
I have been to church (forced to when I was young), practically everyone in my family was fanatically religious but I saw no need of it. I have my views, I don't need to parade myself around and proclaim to others how much faith I have. Church will not save you, your beliefs will.
