I don't often walk into a Church, but I accept that is the custom and yes it would be inappropriate to wear a hat in a Church. Come to think of it I would not wear my hat if I was in an RSL either (not sure if you have them in the USA but in Australia we have the Returned and Services League...
I like your friend! Unless I'm in a very formal business lunch/dinner setting or dining at a friends home I will wear my hat when I'm eating.
I don't follow any hat 'rules' but I must admit my hat on/hat off conduct is very inconsistent. It really depends on how I feel in a situation.

I will wear my hat if it "feels right" or if I just feel like wearing it. I won't wear it in my office or in a formal meeting situation. But at a Cafe or casual restaurant I will probably wear it. In a private home I usually take my hat off indoors but sometimes in my own home I wear my hat...

It's funny rereading posts from last year. I have two Hat Shapers now. One with a brim and one slightly under sized so I can 'unshape' a crown without needing to remove he lining, leather sweat etc. They are pretty good for the price. I have used them a few times now.
Congrats in your Fed IV too. I remember feeling that the brim was HUGE compared to the hats I was accustomed to wearing at the time. It's now one of the smaller brim hats that I have. I still love it though.
The point is, you get used to it. They're a great hat. Enjoy. We'd love to see a pic...
