If you are a Christian, you are the Church, (the believers are the Church) where you go to worship is nothing more than a building.

Some denominations such as the Catholic faith, have added traditions to their belief that cannot be found in The Bible. If you are entering a Catholic Church, the first thing you will notice is a container of water close to the door. As people come in, they will dip a finger in it and touch their forehead, the middle of their body, and their two shoulders.

The water is blessed by the priest.

When taking your seat, remember to make a profound bow to the altar, or a genuflection.

Note: This is done because they believe the wafers are holy believe the bread and wine turn into the actual body and blood of Christ. They are actually eating the body and blood.

Christians, normally understand that the bread and wine are merely symbols of his body and blood that was shared. If it was actually his body, how could he have given it to his Apostles at the last supper? He was still alive speaking with them.

It really depends on the specific church. In Christian religions, generally no. However, there are certain branches that believe in foot washing. They wash each others feet and enter the church shoeless. Many Asian religions require the removal of shoes before entering a temple.
