Is it possible to believe in God and not go to church? Isn't that too rude?

It's possible and many think that it's okay to do that. But increasing your faith is another thing and attending church is gonna play a role for it.

The point is that there is less strength of faith without the connection that the churches bring.

And this is true, the strength comes with gathering and praising in the church together.

As what Hebrews 10:25 says:

not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

Believing in God, and in Jesus for salvation, is not only possible without formal church, but it is the way it happens a lot.

The point is that there is less strength of faith without the connection that the churches bring.

Church is a Place Built to Wait, it is also a way to Connect to God, as like in this Video.

But the Church is kind of the Catholic Holy See and the Basilica, but Protestant Churches are even more just Places of waiting, but also have Developed Structure.

But You do not have to go to Church to believe in God.

The existence of a Supreme (over all seen and unseen) is not the issue here..
On this, the belief on christ and his finished work can happen outside gathering in a building (church)

The church is meant to aid in the Increasing of the knowledge of God and human socialization also.... However, at times you'll find this gathering {in a building} to be lacking behind in its primary assignment which increasing and reminding of the knowledge of Christ
 When this be the case, one can avoid such helpless gathering...continue to believe and on with seeking of the knowledge of Christ in God (God in Christ)

At op being emphatical, the facts you pointed here are so much that it takes more than ordinary mind to read and still try to follow up... If I may ask what books have you read, to point all these hard to believe things.....
