When the New Testament was written, they did not yet have "churches". So all places for worship back then were called synagogues. There were NO churches and No mosques at that time or place in the first century A.D. Christ preached at synagogues. Christ was Jewish.

I think the verse means to try not to be holier than others and show off about it.

I really like the point of it and consider it to be a lesson on being quiet about doing good. But that is something that all people do NOT consider a virtue.
