However they want to. Some of my Gothic friends are Pagan, adhere to various other non-Christian faiths, or are irreligious. But the ones who are Christian often go to church just like everybody else. There are several who attend my own church. On the other hand, some choose to practice their spirituality without church attendance, because they feel that they might not fit in, or do not feel that church attendance is particularly important. There are many different ways to approach spirituality within a Goth framework.

Goth is many things. It is a way of appearance, an artistic interest, a music genre, a style.
Goth is NOT a religion. Goths have many different religions, just as other people do. Goths are just more tolerant of the less accepted religions such as Wicca. People automatically go where they are more respected and embraced.
Goth is a lifestyle. How do models wearing designer fashion worship Jesus? How do gay people worship Jesus? How do Star Trekkies worship Jesus? How does any human being worship Jesus?
Goths are humans, just like you.
Those who believe all worship Jesus the same. All who believe worship different. No one is exactly the same in their worship, but goths do not worship differently or believe differently because they are goth.

Considering that the Goths settled in Scythia about 1500 years before Christ was born, I would say that most Goths did not worship Jesus Christ at all.
Later, in about the 3rd or 4th century CE, the Goths adopted a version of Christianity called Arianism. The Arians believed that Jesus was not a part of God, but a created being separate from God. This difference in interpretation, and schism from the Trinity espoused by the Church at the time was the largest fundamental split in Christianity until the Protestant Reformation.
The Goths eventually split into the Visigoths and the Ostrogoths, and founded powerful successor states to the falling Roman Empire in Italy and on the Iberian pennisula.
Or did you mean those weirdo emo kids who dress in black and listen to crappy music?

goth isnt a religion
goth is an ancient and medieval civilization that was long ago defeated, and no longer exists.
there were many different tribes of goths, including my favorite, the ostrogoths.
but due to the eastern goths taking in protection from the romans to avoid being killed off by steppe barbarians, ofcourse they would eventually adopt some of their beliefs.
it wouldnt be stable, however, amongst them. when taken in by rome, they were treated quite poorly, and caused quite a bit of havoc in the roman empire
the western goths were treated even worse by the romans. the goths were mostly conquered by rome in the west, but when the western roman empire started to weaken, the goths took much land back
infact, they even sacked rome, but never held it as a territory. they held it ransom successfully for very much gold
oddly enough, the goths and the western roman empire later allied in an attempt that ended up in vain to try to stop the invading huns. the huns were driven back, but came back to rome the next year.

Depends on what they believe. Some go to church and sing hymns, some don't believe in Jesus. I don't understand your question: goth is an aesthetic value whereas belief in Jesus is religion. That's like asking how Honda drivers worship Vishnu.

Why do you think they would worship any differently than non-gothic people?

Um...well, I thought that the Goths all died from Roman attacks or something...oh, you're talking about the fashion sense? Well...it's just that, it's a fashion sense and a state of mind...I'm sure that if they ARE Christian, it'd be the same as anyone else who's Christian....
