You should wear a kippah in synagogue though many don’t.
Many years ago, I attended a Saturday evening service at my church. Evening services on Saturday and Sunday are focused on young people, so no choir, only a ‘worship team’. One of the young people on the worship team, he looked to be no more than 20, was wearing a ‘Che’ shirt. I was appalled! I mentioned it to my (now former) wife. She, like many Canadians, had no idea who Che Guevara was. I explained how many people that Guevara had killed in cold blood and how he took such pleasure in their killing.
I also attended the Sunday evening service, to see if the young man would wear the same shirt. Obviously, someone must have pointed out to him, how evil Guevara was and that a shirt celebrating such an evil person, had no place in a church. I never saw the young man wear such a shirt again.
I would suggest that such a shirt would be celebrated in many mainstream ‘Methodist’ churches. So many seem to have forgotten the ‘Gospel’, instead focusing on the ‘social gospel’.
“But what do the satanists wear for their services?”
Hell if I know!
I DO, however, have issues when the "pastor" of a "church" dresses like THIS when he's LEADING people in "worship":
And I find it bizarre that none of his supporters thought there was something sketchy about their megachurch pastor-who-dressed-like-a-biker-during-church-services until he was caught up in a huge scandal.
Would have been a huge red flag for me since day one that there was something off about this "minister"
No one dresses like that today, of course, but what is worn now in most houses of worship is disrespectful and self-indulgent.

Shouldn’t this be a Babylon Bee caucus thread?
In Catholicism we are to dress to visit Jesus as He is in the Eucharist. Torn jeans, men in shorts, in flip flops anything goes. It is incorrect.
At my current church (a Baptist semi-megachurch in the style of Saddleback), since we’re in the Seahawks area, lots of people show up at church in Seahawks shirts, jerseys, and other Hawks attire. The pastor does too, sometimes.
I wear my Seattle Dragons shirt, out of protest.
Sunday-go-to-meeting clothes to me always meant something clean. But that doesn’t mean you had to go out and spend five hundred bucks to outfit yourself.
Can’t caucus it when other denominations are mentioned.
Alot of Catholic churches have gone very lax, especially with all the illegals coming in with jeans and a dirty t-shirt. Then the youth masses are the same - shorts and a T, flip flops on your feet.
The only place I’ve seen consistent proper dress is at the Latin Mass churches. Everyone is dressed decently there, and I think a big part of it is the feeling of reverence at Mass, whereas going to the other churches just feels meh.
The dress for Episcopalians is now drag.
Tongue in cheek, but oh so true.
Don't guess you've heard that the Methodist are splitting. The liberal "social gospel" bunch are going their own way while the conservative, Wesleyan, bible believing folks will be the Methodist Church.
Wayyy past time. I think it'll be official next May. Money and property division will have to be ironed out.
Catholics wear any thing that suits them. Shorts, T’s, flipflops, and no sense of going unto the Altar of God.
I wear slacks, shoes/sox, dress shirt & sport coat, and look like a Greek Orthodox bishop next to most others.
Young women (it’s a college chapel) show so much bosom & leg that I elevate my eyes heavenward and pray, “O Lord, I thank Thee for granting unto me, Thy humble servant, this vision of some of the beautiful things which Thou hast made!”
(I may be old but I’m not dead yet.)
Oh, and Catholics can’t sing worth a darn, either. I once attended the black Catholic mission church where I was baptized. They can’t sing, either.
I wear jeans, button up shirt, bootsv(work style ) to work, church, and night on the town. It’s what I own 95%. I have dress pants, jacket and tie. It’s for funeral, weddings and job interviews. If it’s needed or requested, I expect one of those 3.
I’m not a slob but really what’s the requirements these days.
“In Catholicism we are to dress to visit Jesus as He is in the Eucharist”
In Christianity, Jesus is in us and we are in Him.
He is with us always.
He is not in your Eucharist. Well maybe he is, but to think you are leaving the presence of Jesus when you walk to where your eucharist is, than I suggest you read the Gospel of John. First ask the Holy Spirit to reveal Jesus to you while reading.
“Torn jeans, men in shorts, in flip flops anything goes. It is incorrect”
No more incorrect than not recognizing where Jesus is.
Look up “omnipresent”
In Catholicism we are to dress up to be in the presence of the Lord at Mass. the angels descend on the altar and the last supper is visited. It’s in the book of ... well, all four Gospels.
Most Catholics do not go to mass and when they do they don’t consider what to wear. Very disrespectful
