But the "OMG nO hats EVar!" attitude has got to go. Hats, as with clothes in general, have degrees of formality. If you're in a restaurant that permits t shirts and shorts along with the inevitably baggy NFL jerseys and sagging jeans, a baseball cap should not be an issue. In fact, it may look much more respectable then the rest of the getup. If you're in an establishment that requires a coat, a baseball cut would not cut it, but I would have no problem with a fedora or a nice tweed cap.

If the saints jerseys were acceptable, the hat should have been too.

You'll excuse me if I don't fully buy into your religious argument without some clear documentation? I've seen at least one person, who has a long and fairly intelligent (if somewhat irascible) posting history here offer contrary explanation.

Also, this whole thing for me, breaks down more to the establishment's right to determine what parameters they will do business under.

I'll slide it downhill for you
