Except that there isn't anyone on the other side. I know of no out reach clubs for atheists. No one proselytizes for the non-supernatural in this way. Whether or not it is legal, it is definitely slimy.

Faith-based groups often express feeling put upon by the teaching of science in schools and how that is supposed to undermine faith. But teaching science is religion neutral. If faith-based groups insist on holding on to some traditional view of cosmology then that is the price they pay for allowing their religious views to stray into the empirical.
