How people dress can absolutely be an indicator of what they're like. For example, if someone paints their hair neon blue, they're probably a massive leftist tool. Maybe not, but most likely.
Christianity didn't invent this, sorry.
And looks don't matter alone, but they can give indications. If a book has a giant penis on the cover, I'm going to judge that book. Maybe the book is based as fuck and the author is just weird, but it's absolutely a consideration.
Also, people are smashing the downvote button because you're attacking their religion for something it didn't do and for something that itself isn't even inherently bad.
Your individualistic, "you only need Jesus" view is not what the Bible says. It absolutely talks about coming together with others, not as a requirement, but certainly as something good to do. It also talks about preaching the truth to others, not "leaving them to their business".
And spare me the "fallible Bible" junk. If it's fallible, why believe anything about it/that it says? Including in Jesus? Humans are fallible and God preserved His word just like He said to ensure we had an objective faith, not a corrupted and fallible human one.
