Your questions are good. Let me bring you up to speed a little bit on Buddhism, according to a book I read titled, "Zen mind, Beginner Mind" it doesnt matter what religion you come from or what religion you practice, you can be a buddist no matter what. The theories on Buddhism, actually do interest me as well, and if anyone should give you crap about it, you can at least say that you believe there is a Higher Power that controls things, which makes you spiritual. God can also mean (G)ood (O)rderly(D)irection. Hope this helps.

Well, that's very critical and arrogant of you. There are many churches that don't care what people wear.
If you're practicing Buddhism, then you need to read up a little more. Arrogance is not a path to the Middle Way, nor is this way of thinking: Right Mindfulness.
Be considerate of others before you criticize them. For if you criticize them like they do you, then you are no better than they.

God wont let you through the gate for lots of other reasons, but not that.
