Good post alwayslearning! I want to add something I have learned that is so rewarding is giving Thanks. Give Thanks for big things as well as for the little things. I always tank the Holy Spirit for leading me to a misplaced object like my keys, my cell phone, etc. I thank Him for giving me revelation, understanding, and Wisdom. I thank the Lord for giving me a roof over my head and an income to pay my bills. I thank the Lord for the good friends I have. (most are young believers in Christ. Some are religious and some are non believers.) They are always there for me.
I thank the Lord for using me in His service to lead people to Christ, to disciple them by teaching them the fundamental Truths of the Word of God and the Power of His Precious Blood.
There are a few TV shows I like. They are wholesome and make me laugh. I find myself praying for the actors who play those characters. I need laughter in my life and they provide just that. So why not pray for them????
BTW, can I recommend an excellent movie??? " The book of Eli". If you have not seen it, I will only let you in on this. The very end ties the the entire movie and makes the movie. It stars Denzel Washington and Mila Kunis.
I thank the Lord for the Word of God I grasped in my early days in the LC. I am forever grateful I am out too. He led me in and led me out.
I pray for the body of Christ and for Israel, for the nations of this world, for Muslims, Jews, non believers and for the broken hearted.
Never ever forget the Lord Jesus. He is truly the WAY, the TRUTH, the LIFE. No one can go to God the Father but by Him.
Never forget God is LOVE. AND that is the greatest aspect of Who He is. May we ALL be filled with His Love and with inner peace in our journey here on earth.
Abundant blessings to all!!!

Anyway my guess is regardless of denomination, non-denomination or whatever affiliation the Christians you describe aren't really thinking too much about that. They are just enjoying life and their friendships at whatever church they attend. And they seamlessly move about and probably don't stop and pray about whether they should go to football game or not. They go to watch it and enjoy the company of whoever goes with them. Not everything is so "spiritual" for them and their decisions in everyday life. Nothing wrong with that IMHO!
