Christian or not?

Is it true that in order to be a true Christian one would have to attend church every Sunday? You don't have to be a zealous in order to be Christian. A zealous Christian is one who is "extremely devoted to their faith and have intense enthusiasm in working for a cause." This is not necessary for one to be a Christian, because Christianity is about personal relationships: one with God and others with other people. I want to make sure that I emphasize that it is a personal relationship, not necessarily a public or group relationship. There are more ways to show your belief then to be in church every Sunday. It is also important to note that Christian's are not supposed to judge people based on their belief and how and/or when they practice their belief. Belief is ones' own personal relationship with God, no outsider should be able to say whether you truly are a believer or not. You can still be a Christian and not have to be a zealous Christian and push your belief of what Christianity is onto others.
