Sort of.
I've had a lot of religious discussions with my mother, and frankly, I don't think she believes in Christian (Roman Catholic) doctrine anymore, but she still attends church. I think she does it for the sense of community and sense of purpose. I hail from a very rural area where religious belief is still strongly tied to superior morality. She still hangs on to the whole "Jesus" thing, but I doubt if she really believes he was a magic man with a creepy evil invisible father.
