Except the security would most likely just unceremoniously kick the whole group out. Christians aren't big on tolerance at the best of times - when they're on their "home turf" and in great numbers - you'd be lucky if they didn't burn anyone at the stake...
Then it makes excellent cell phone video footage, eh?
I doubt they'd throw you out. Never miss a chance to "witness to sinners", y'know. As long as y'all weren't being disruptive.
Besides, it's a risk for them-- remember, they claim to fairly-win, in open debate with nonbelievers. Being seen leading us away as we scream "Help, help, I'm being repressed!" a la Monte Python, while only amusing to us, would be devastating to an already fragile balance with use of public funds for religious purposes.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
