First let me say that I agree with no hat while in the church assuming that is the custom of that church but...
To say what is poor etiquette is a judgment call based on what is considered current etiquette and current fashion.
For example:
There was a time when a woman couldn't show her ankles in public. Was that proper etiquette? Heck I'm OK with seeing some ankles!
There was a time when men wore hats (Fedora's etc.) and suits at baseball games. Was that etiquette proper? I'm OK with wearing a baseball hat and a tee shirt at a baseball game.
The list goes on. Fashion changes. Etiquette changes. Language changes. We need to change with it.
Just my 3 cents.
