A Christian attending a Jewish service dishonors himself by wearing a yamulke. Likewise, a Muslim woman attending a Catholic service would still need to wear a burka.
The purpose of a yarmulke or skullcap in Judaism is to show that the person wearing it is aware that he is subservient to a supreme being above him, namely God
To the best of my knowledge the Pope and all the Cardinals wear skullcaps for the same reason
Do they dishonor their religion?
A Christian wearing a skullcap at a Jewish service is just a person showing respect in a house of worship
