If someone tried this on my kids they would get one warning then catch a severe beating.

Really?" What is "Tried this?" So who would you beat up? Someone who offered a gospel tract to your kids as they passed by or in a park? Or "At a park on Monday, the group laid out a tarp for children and chairs for their parents. A pair of volunteers led about 12 kids through Bible verses and songs that praised a Christian god. "

"A Christian god." Is it too hard to Jesus? Obviously this was written by an atheist, and the same article gets its warning from a group run by atheists, which assert, "They pretend to be a mainstream Christian Bible study when in fact they're a very old school fundamentalist sect," said Kaye Schmitt, an organizer with Protect Portland Children, which takes issue with the group's message and the way it's delivering it.

Whose side are you on?

Good retort -- furthermore:

. . . Kaye Schmitt, an organizer with Protect Portland Children, which takes issue with the group's message and the way it's delivering it.

Kaye Schmitt, a self-appointed and uninvited "protector" of both parents as well as their children, as well as the biased "journalist" writing this article, ought to be told forcefully and succinctly to mind their own business, and allow others to mind their own established and exclusive privilege in exercising their supervisory interaction with CEF regarding the presentation offered to their children, eh?

I’m on the side of not having to hear about anyone’s religion. If you were in a park and Muslims approached your children you would be pissed right? You’re an Atheist when it comes to Islam right? You fully believe that they’re misguided and worship a false god right? You would be rightly angry if they tried to approach you with their false beliefs. And if they tried again after you warned them to stop what would you do?

All the above is the same way someone who isn’t Christian might feel if they were harassed by prosthelytizers. Or Mormons knocking on your door, or Jehovah’s witnesses, etc...
