I have wondered why people don’t dress up to go to church anymore.

When I was a little boy, everybody was dressed up.

Is it fallout from the social changes of the ‘60s and ‘70s that people in big numbers decided not to dress up to go to church?

I dont know completely, but church attendance was dropping across the board. So many churches adopted the ‘come as you are’ approach as one way to encourage more attendance.

The beatniks and hippies were right about a few things, one of them being that conformity and social manipulation toward groupthink enabled globalists to have not one but two world wars and then continue right into forever wars afterwards.

The change in clothing style was fundamentally due to a lessening of the seriousness and fidelity to purpose of the organizations and institutions involved.
