Rabbi,
You are absolutely right. If everyone who reads this thread simply sends the word along to some other site or forum that they frequent, saying simply, "Have you heard about this...?" and then makes certain to mention the purpose of the act, they will be doing their part to be responsible.
I do not think that permission is needed to attend for the most part. American churches are welcoming and eager for visitors. If it is an evet well-known in advance, then they will be expecting us. Local atheist associations could coordinate themselves just enough to ensure a noticeablee presence and attend a large, significant congregation. With proper behavior all should go well.
