        Lots of things come up that keep people from attending religious
        services even if they want to.  Thinking about your life these
        days, do you ever attend religious services, apart from occasional
        weddings, baptisms or funerals?  (IF YES:) Do you go to religious
        services every week, almost every week, once or twice a month, a
        few times a year, or never?
        (IF R SAYS HE/SHE GOES TO RELIGIOUS SERVICES EVERY WEEK:)
        Would you say you go to religious services once a week or more often
        than once a week?
