Any basis for this statement, which I consider to be preposterous?

An adult male who enters a synagogue or attends a Jewish service wears a kippah (yarmulke), and to do otherwise is a sign of disrespect to the community, because they see it as a sign of disrespect to the Lord. You do not become Jewish by wearing a kippah. You could wear a kippah every waking moment for 50 years and that would not make you Jewish.

If your beliefs or conscience would prohibit you from wearing a kippah, I believe that you should avoid going to the service.
