It's incredible that years later reporters either
pretend or misremember that Bush had awesome church attendance habits. But mostly this conversation is dumb, as there's a very simple reason why even the most devout church loving president would decide to skip church: it would be incredibly disruptive for any congregation to have to deal with all of that. So a president would have to find a church that fit him, and one which the Secret Service could approve of, and one which was ok with having snipers on the roof and in the corners every week. It's possible. Bill Clinton did it. But it's obviously problematic.
