To me, when we gather, in any kind of corporate/community gathering, it is disrespectful to myself and those around me if I just slap on whatever feels comfortable to wear. I wear a suit and tie when I go to church, and when I'm in the pulpit. But I also do for funeral home visitation, and the funeral home. I also wear slacks and a nice shirt at the very least for hospital visits, or visiting someone's home.... but I've never thought I was being spiritual by doing so, or somehow keeping some Biblical viewpoint.
I was doing it out of respect for the community I was gathering with, my parents who raised me a certain way to what is appropriate and not, and respect of myself. So I'd appreciate you realizing not everyone falls under the broad brush you just used because some of us feel it's appropriate to dress up for church.

There are others who feel exactly the same way you do as you've just described (including myself).
And I know you have no idea who these people are, but most here do.
