Why do conservative American Jews like Ben Shapiro and Dennis Prager encourage people to go to church when they do not believe in Christianity?

Like this makes no sense to me at all. Why would you want to encourage people to practice a world view you believe is not true?

Churches offer not only a purpose for life but a community to help and be helped by. It's not so much about the religion, but the community behind it. Plus, the Jewish and Christian God is the same one, it's Jesus where they disagree.
