What do jews wear on their heads to show that they are religious?

When Jews pray on all days aside from Shabbat or Festivals, they wear tefillin. Tefillin consist of two black boxes attached to leather straps. The first box goes on the weaker arm and the leather strap is wrapped around the arm. The second box is placed on the forehead (like in the above image), and the strap goes around the head. Tefillin are also called phylacteries by Non-Jews, but this term is usually seen as derisive by Jews.
Jewish males cover their heads with a kippa and/or a hat, as a reminder of the presence of God. This practice is twice mentioned emphatically in the Talmud (Shabbat 156b; Kallah 1:16), in statements dating back 1700 and 1850 years, respectively. Even then, covering one's head is spoken of as an established practice, not something new.
The Yiddish word for kippah, "yarmulkah," is a contraction of the Aramaic "yerei malkah": to be aware of the King.
Note that Jewish married women traditionally cover their hair (Talmud, Ketubot 72b). This is for the purpose of modesty - only her husband should see her beauty - since the hair is considered beautiful (Talmud, Berakhot 24a).

During the morning prayers, tefillin are also worn, as is a tallit. The tefillin are in keeping with the command in Deuteronomy ch.6.
The tallit is an ancient custom based on verses such as Daniel 7:9 and Talmud Rosh Hashanah 17b.

For those Jews who wear a top-hat or boyar-hat above their kippah, they do this out of local traditions for distinguishing gentlemen.

Women, if married, cover their hair with a wig or kerchief. This is for modesty.
