You'd likely get a similar reaction in most evangelical places of worship in the US.
Except with guns.

Well it's probably best to let people worship their chosen "sky pixies" then and not interfere in anything else we casually mock but don't appreciate.

I consider people's religious beliefs pretty sacrosanct and to be treated with respect. Any ideas religion's going away any time soon is ridiculous, there's probably been more religious premises built in the UK during the last 20 years than there has for the last 100 or so.
Off topic, but... I was a militant atheist most of my life. But as I approach 60 I've searched for any proof that secular society is functioning as I'd wish it too. Community; keeping an eye on each other; being a team to support each other in everything, rather than living as islands of humanity where government fills the gaps. Inadequately. Very inadequately and very expensively.I find it hard to respect stuff that’s made up and provably false. Religion is stupid. IMO.

I'm now an atheist involved, peripherally, in several Church groups because -- warts and all -- there's nothing imaginary about their support for each other and the wider, non-believing community around them. Respect is earned. Wisdom is knowing what matters... and what doesn't. #HappyClappyEmojiHere

But why do people need to be scared of an imaginary being and his wraith/hell to be a good person?
People should just be good for the sake of being good.
People doing it because they are scared of their own fate is just depressing and further highlights their selfishness.
People SHOULD, doesn't mean they do. Humans are lazy, selfish, and destructive without intervention. Religion, to a degree, changes this and gives people a purpose. Just because someone should do something, doesn't stop them doing it, hence why were always at war, rape still exist, places are robbed, poverty exists, slavery exists.
As a whole religion is a good thing, because it tries to teach right from wrong or it utilises fear (heaven/hell and so on) to train humans to step away from being *****.
It WAS a good thing (in some ways....not all obviously as it has also created collosal conflicts and atrocities).
It is now antiquated, and quite obviously nothing more than fairy tales.
