Except for the fact that Sunday, like every weekends can be a day to relax and also plan for the coming days of the week, I see no difference with it and every other day.
We humans, whatever we have in our heart to do, that's it, no going back.
If we fix a particular day for any regular event that's it, it becomes a cycle such that one will think that it was God himself that came down from heaven to fix the day for us, but meanwhile, it was someone like me and you who woke one morning and suggest that one particular day called Sunday should be set aside to worship God, then everyone follows.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not against Sunday church going or worship in anyway, but all I'm saying is, if it was one person that had the power to fix a day, then you as one person also have the power to remove your own personal day of worship from being a regular Sunday cycle and no one can do anything to you.

Ofcourse, during the intense of covid 19 lockdown you have stayed in your house every Sunday for weeks and nothing has happened to you, It does not change the fact that you are still a Christian, that's to let you know that the regular Sunday cycle of church worshipping is your choice.

But how does God view your worship?

Leviticus 6:13 The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.

Your body is like an altar that holds your belief in Christ, that is where God dwells continually. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Your body does not need a place to worship God, God is not found anywhere else whether in the sky or the church, but only your body.

God is not restricted to be worshipped in a particular day, rather every micro seconds of your existence is worship itself for God.

This whole thing has done to me that Christianity is not practiced like Islam or any other religion

So, ask yourself a question : what did you go to church to do?

Hebrews 10:25 says we should not neglect the fellowship of brethen. This is what we go to church to do. And its purpose is basically for exhortation of one another.

a very good reason to go to church. To exhort one another.

But certainly not to worship

So why can you not worship in a Church? Or did Jesus not say, "where two or more are gather, I am in their midst "?

well!
Based on human perception you can call that worship, but for God who receives the worship you think you are giving him, he doesn't call it worship. He calls it religious activities which may not be bad for you

I never knew God had an online spokeman's to tell us what he will and will not accept as worship

John 4:21 Jesus saith unto her Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

This is not the meaning of what Jesus is saying here, before that time pure worship can only be rendered in Jerusalem or you must face the direction of Jerusalem anywhere you are on this planet, Jesus confirmed it {John 4:20-22} But in Christianity (the new covenant) wherever two or three are gathered to encourage one another on the WORK Jesus assigned to his disciples, Jesus (God's new Temple) {John 2:19-21} is there which means they are worshiping God in the best way! John 14:6

So anywhere true Christians converge, pure worship is ongoing Sir! Matthew 18:20

May you have PEACE!

stay home or anywhere, even in church. So long you believe, God has accepted your worship, it doesn't matter where you are

Do you have any scripture contrary to this?

So why then are we told not to neglect the fellowship of brethren. Why was this emphasis done in Hebrews10:25? Please have you taken the time to read the book of Hebrews to understand the nature of letter and the message it was meant to pass?

If you look at the preceding chapter, it says

Hebrews 10:24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:

The aim of gathering of believers was to provoke one another to good works.
Good works is a physical thing to do, anyone can be good.
Good works.
Love your neigbour as thy self, the same thing.

But when it comes to worship, it requires that we worship God in spirit and in truth, that has nothing to do with good works.

Romans 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

Good works is physical and has nothing to do with the spirit
Worship is done in the spirit, it's justification is of the spirit because God is spirit.

It was not just for good works alone; It was for encouragement when when people of the church were being persecuted for their faith. Read the whole book to get a clearer picture of what the book of Hebrews was trying to get across to Christians.

And even if the book made the declaration to good works, why then did Jesus give his disciples a command to break bread as often as possible when they meet...? Was the bread to be broken individually in their homes or as a gathering of witnesses...? Church gatherings have always been a way for believers to strengthen themselves in faith and love towards one another; It has been a way to build up and encourage those who were wavering in times of persecution

very true!
It has been a way to build up and encourage those who were wavering in times of persecution.
But all these isn't worship, they are just ways to encourage people to remain worship inspite all they went through
