There is not a single religion that is defined as ‘Goddess Worship’. Many ancient religions are based on the belief that the supreme being (or beings) is a female or based on aspects of femininity. Most modern practioners (at least in the US) would define themselves as Pagans or Wiccans. Both of these belief systems are based on much older beliefs than Christianity or the other ‘male’-based religions. The belief in God (as in the male God of Judaism, Christianity and Islam) as the sole Creator is based in those religions. Each of the different sects of Wicca or Paganism perscribe to a different story of creation. Some are based on Goddess creation and others on God/Goddess creation. The belief in the Goddess dates to prehistoric times. Female figures carved in ivory and other materials have been found which date from before 30,000 BC. The practice of worshiping male gods did not become prominent until after 10,000 BC. And in most religions until around 2000 BC, both male and female gods were worshiped equally. In fact, ancient records show that the original Jewish belief system showed ‘God’ as two figures, one male and one female. As far as the question about church attendance, that is up to each practioner. Some Pagans and Wiccans attend Christian services (usually Unitarian Universalist). Most don’t. However, each religion has its own practices which include holy days and ceremonies which are practiced regularly.
