About the second thing, I should had elaborated. In the presence of the dominion of God (like during prayer or a historical recital of the passover in remembrance of Jesus[but the act itself is not necessary for salvation yet those that aren't saved are discouraged from doing communion/passover communion in partaking of the symbolic body and blood of Christ if one isn't in the body of Christ and doesn't suffer for Christ as a Christian martyred by the world that hates you for your Christian faith]), Christian men take off their hats but Christian woman wearing those head covering veils keep it on or put it on. However, there's a part in the New Testament by St. Paul that a woman's own hair is her own covering, so really, head coverings are not necessary but is only done in modesty for men that gets tempted by the beauty of a woman's hair.

If someone wears a hat that isn't explicitly a status hat, it should be fine really, like, what kind of an anal preacher mocks people for wearing a sunshade hat if it's an outdoor sermon. Tophats was always a class status symbol in Freemasonry and Judaism. "In Freemasonry, as practiced in North American lodges, top hats are often associated with the position of Worshipful Master as he is the only member allowed the privilege of wearing one, or another appropriate head covering to signify his leadership within the lodge. It is also common for a Worshipful Master to receive top-hat-related trinkets and gifts on either the day of his installation or as a going away present.[32] In other countries, especially in certain systems in Germany, top hats are worn by all members of the lodge. "

"In some synagogues, the president and honorary officers may wear a top hat on Shabbat or the great festivals. The custom of wearing a top hat, or tzylinder in the Yiddish language, originated in 19th-century England, replacing the wig and tricorn hat. The custom became widespread in Europe until The Holocaust. In some traditional Sephardi synagogues, members of the congregation may also wear top hats on special occasions.[33] The custom is said to have started at the Bevis Marks Synagogue in London on a hot day, when the Chazzan was preparing for a service and decided that it was too hot to wear his wig, throwing it out of the window in a fit of bad temper. He then found that his tricorn hat was too big, as it had been made to fit over the wig, and so wore his top hat instead.[34]"

Funny how that works out. Does that mean the Mad Hatter's a cryptokike? I'm okay with that reinterpretation.

If someone wears a top hat in a church, he might be an edgelord and/or a mason.
