There is nothing wrong with not attending church. It's awesome that you pray every night.
The thing is, church isn't just a place to learn Bible stories. It's a place to meet people, the same people every week and grow with them. How many places can you go to find good Christian friends who will be able to understand and maybe help your problem from a Christian standpoint? Church is a main place. Fellowship - pretty much sums it up. Worshipping God with other people, growing together, helping each other.
As in Ecclesiastes 4:10, "If one falls down, his friend can pick him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!"
It is wrong for many Christians to look down upon non attending Christians, but going to church can really help you build your personal relationship with God.
