“A “church” —whether we would esteem it genuine or cultic— is a private institution.”

Yes, but if they invite the public to come on down, well, then they would seem to have waived some of their normal recourse when the public actually show up...

No more than you would in your own house. Your rights do not diminish inside your home. However those of your visitors do. If they don't like it, they can leave, or be removed. Same thing with a church or any other private institution.

Stores and movie theaters are open to the general public too, but if you act in such a way as to disrupt the intended activity, you will be kicked out, if not arrested.
