We have a Presbyterian church near our home. I was baptized Presbyterian when I was a baby .. but I don't go to church now. I just found far too many hypocrites at the churches I attended.
There's a big Sikh temple around the corner from my home. It's not generally a proselytizing faith in Australia, so I've not been beyond the gates. My own church is a half-hour's drive away.

About a mile away is a sort of 'famous' church. It is where a funeral service was held for a locally well known woman from the area. You see, she was Stevie Wonder's aunt. Her husband gave Stevie his first harmonica. Stevie did attend the event and gave a eulogy.
There are two synagogues across from my building - one is conservative and the other is orthodox. The conservative synagogue's congregants are mostly of European descent and the orthodox one is mostly Russian Jews. I have not been to either one (or any other one, for that matter). I am not a worshiper.
There's a gigantic nondenominational 'church' about 3/4 mile up the road from here, up on the ridge. The building itself covers over 1 acre, while the parking lots surrounding it cover over 3 acres. No, I do not go there as they're just a "feel-good" church. Their only purpose is to entertain people.
I could easily walk about 1/2 miles to either a Southern Baptist or Mormon Church...they are across the street from each other. I prefer to just go to the beach. I am a member of the PCUSA denomination. There is a PCUSA Church here but I have never been there.
It's actually only in our bedroom where we utter " Oh My God ,Oh My God,Oh My God" .....it's something that just happens religiously and I don't really talk about my beliefs in public. :(
The closest place of worship around here is the Sanctuary of the Rastafarian Order. It has only been there for about 8 moths - I haven't been to a service but the next time they have a dance I will probably go. Cheers and happy weekend!
There is our Parish Church about 1Km from our doorstep, another parish the opposite direction of our Garden Weg (path). Up the hill about about 1.1 km is a little chapel that remains from the 1300's was not burned down like most of the surrounding area in the Turkish siege of 1683.
At the bottom of our main street is the Meeting house the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints (Mormon). 200 meters from there is a small Lutheran Church.
The benefits of living in a Catholic country is there is always a place to pray if you are of a mind. Admiral Betting parlors are close to all churches in my neighborhood. Coincidence, I think not
