No more bizarre then sending them to a Native American ceremony or an anti-drug rally.

No, it's totally different.
Native American ceremonies are mostly a matter of history, in no small part thanks to the earlier efforts of zealous Christians. The purpose of exposing kids to this is to give them an awareness of a culture most are not familiar with. It's certainly not to tell them to pray to the rain god or affirm his existence. Can you say the same about the Christian revival?
An anti-drug rally, while still retaining elements of propaganda, is essentially sending a health message to kids. And that kind of thing is necessary and useful to some degree.
The bottom line here is these Christians, like fundamentalists of any religion, want EVERYONE to convert to their set of beliefs. In case you've forgotten your history, there are reasons we have limited the reach of these fanatics.
