...a bare structure and/or ugly structure built for worship will convey the message, whether intentional or not, that the believers do not value what they believe.

Obviously only GOD knows the quality of our worship does it really matter what others think? The example Jesus gave us of the guy who came to worship and made a big show of it and the poor widow comes to mind.

This isn't limited to any particular church, but it seems the more expansive the church the more the statement being made is "look at us". There are pastors who have held services in fields before men have gone into battle I suspect those in attendance were pretty sincere in their worship.

How do you know? Can you peer into their hearts?

That is a legitimate point and would fall into the exceptions I mentioned earlier.
