I'm asking on the basis of any denominations.
It's not about "any" denominations.. some denominations are far from God, so it depends on whether your attendance is at a compatible denomination or not.
Since as a member you might vote on various church policies or take on various responsibilities within the church like leading prayer in women's Bible study groups or leading and teaching childrens Sunday school classes or help out with vacation Bible school etc. etc. and the list goes on..
there is reason to be concerned about a member not being around half the time and attending another - possibly antithetical - church.. what if your picking up heretical teachings and then later pass them onto innocent kids?
Plus, what are you missing at the church you are a member of, with various church needs like prayer requests and more.. what if member x had a financial need and a special offering was taken up for them to meet that need, and you missed it.
Membership is for a reason - and that reason is to act like the community of believers in many varying ways, not only to hear a sermon and take off.
So whether it's a sin depends on many things, but most certainly your church has reason to be concerned with this behavior.
