You are free to believe what you want, but that view isn't Biblical. The Bible encourages like minded people to gather together and use their gifts to build each other up, including some who are gifted as teachers.
That doesn't mean what church looks like today is always right, but isolation isn't good, nor is centering all beliefs around oneself. It is supposed to function like a family, including learning setting each other straight when they get out of line, but also learning to love people you wouldn't personally choose to be associated with.
Is it Biblical to attend a place where the priest rapes and molests little boys and then comes out to tell you to repent of your sins lest you go to hell?
Not attending church != practicing my faith in isolation.
That's a false dilemma, as one can find a church that isn't like that. Extended lockdown was a blessing in that it exposed a lot of pastors as either ignorant, as cowards, or as the real deal.
