A church in Ivor, Virginia thinks it is okay to go to church without clothes on. They believe this is fine with God. 

The Bible teaches no such thing that is is okay to go to church, or anywhere for that matter: naked. The demoniac in the Bible was a nudist. But after the Lord cast the devils out of him he left being a nudist.

Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid. (Luke 8:26-39) (Also look in Mark 5 and Matthew 8 )

 “Then they sailed to the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee. When Jesus had stepped out on land, there met him a man from the city who had demons. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and he had not lived in a house but among the tombs. When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him and said with a loud voice, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me.” For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. (For many a time it had seized him. He was kept under guard and bound with chains and shackles, but he would break the bonds and be driven by the demon into the desert.) Jesus then asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered him.

When this man was demon possessed he was a nudist. But when the Lord cast the devils out of him he put clothes on.

Sitting at the feet of Jesus CLOTHED AND  IN HIS RIGHT MIND.

The Bible equates wearing clothes to being in your right mind.

Also God himself made clothes for Adam and eve to wear after they sinned.
