Of course those are the milder sadistic bits.

I understand your viewpoint, but I disagree. There is no impediment for adults to find a place to hold worship or religious study. There are zero barriers to religious activities in literally every place in America. Putting "extracurricular" religious activity in a non-school government facility (i.e. things other than praying, prayer prep and other strictly individual observances) should not be allowed. Especially with something like this, you cannot avoid the appearance is of an establishment of religion, and an endorsement, by high government officials OF a particular religion in an unambiguously government context. Especially when you've made it explicit that you believe that the U.S. is a Christian nation. I would make an exception for student religious activities in public schools, as long as it is not for the purpose of proselytizing on school grounds, because of the unique barriers students face in finding such spaces, and the central importance of school geography to kids. But otherwise, no. Keep your religion off my government property.
