I can't speak for others but to me it is like putting on your team jersey ,not going to training and when it's match time, performing poorly.What do you think Jesus meant when He said you should pray at all times?

A muslim who does not pray is completely going against the religion. Whether that act alone makes them dis-believers or non-muslims is debatable. Some scholars say one who does not pray is not to be considered a muslim, but not everyone agrees with that.

To me it seems that many people are simply in a religion that does not fit correctly. If you can't follow the guidelines of your Faith, then perhaps you should be looking around? There are countless Faiths to choose from, why pick one that makes you look like a hypocrite?
That's why I picked a Path that believes in responsibility and not Sin.
Sin away - just do so with the idea of being responsible for your actions. Drink ... don't drive. Have lots of sex ... just safely. Look at the neighbors wife... just don't touch her. Kill animals ... but only what you are willing to eat.
I am comfortable on my Path and I when I do my own thing I don't need to look over my shoulder to see if fellow Druids are looking.

I'd say it's a very good question.
I'll answer from Islamic viewpoint.
Kufri (disbelief) is the opposite of Iman (faith). There are several Kufri acts. I know one of them, that not praying at all, is a Kufri, which sends a Muslim beyong the pale of Islam. However, this ruling should not be applied on any Muslim who doesn't pray. Because it is also Kufri to call a Muslim a Kaafir.

Well, according to the one I subscribe to, Christianity. The answer is that nobody is worthy of their beliefs. They are a gift.
However, from faith works will spring not from obligation but from love.

as a Christian I go to Church seldom, that does not change my beliefs, and with God in my heart and his word in my mind, I do not really need a minister to tell me what to believe, I find it is better to Pray and meditate on Gods word than to go somewhere that they tell me my believes are wrong and get upset because they do not understand the bible as well as I do, there are too many immature Christians in leadership in the churches today.

Worthy of his belief? A person is "worthy" of anything if they think they are.
But regarding religion: Wasn't it Bob Hope who said "I cater to all religions. I don't want to die and then get kicked out by default."
(something to that effect).

No, that person is not worthy of their belief, they are in a group because they are weak and can't stand alone.

Who is to judge whether he is or he is not worthy of belief? You can only have your opinion not be a judge.
