Would it be inappropriate if i was standing on the corner after church services have ended and people are all exiting the building and i was there standing with signs that read "theres no god and no afterlife so get a life"? How do you think the people react and would i be arrested for loitering?

Freedom of speech just like You are demonstrating here, and We are demonstrating back. Hopefully People would pray for You. If They are strong in Their beliefs, Their faith, You wouldn't be anything more than a temporary distraction.
It wouldn't be loitering, but it might be tress passing, depending on if the People's yard You were standing in didn't want You there. Lots of Church's are by houses.
Why, are there People standing by Your house holding signs that read There is a God, and an afterlife, so get with the program?

Some Christians can be very violent. If you do so, try it first at a Quaker Meeting Hall where they are known for their passive, non-resistance. Then, bolstered by unearned courage, go to a gay Metropolitan church where the least that will happen is you are covered in hugs and kisses and the worst, well….you might get a Biblical show and tell and an introduction into what the two angels were threatened with at Sodom and Gomorra. Except expect no rescue from the Hand of God.
Once you are able to walk again, go to picket a mainline denominational church there you will find that most people in today’s lukewarm, apostate Christendom will agree with you, if not outright, then in spirit. You’d be wasting your time, but what else have you to do till Judgment Day? Happy tails to you.

Well my friend There is God ok and there is better life do u know know that why is that, because all the people in th world live with God life and that is the truth. If u were saying the thing in the church of course u get arrested. But always believe that there is God in one Earth.

You are entitled to think any way you want to in this country. I'm not sure if you could be arrested or not...you may have to get a permit (seems everything takes a permit). The real question is why would you want to do that? One of the freedoms we have in this country is to believe whatever we wish to believe without persecution. The people in that church have the right to believe what they believe just as you do. Why do you feel the need to provoke them? Go about your life with your beliefs and leave others to their beliefs.

There are laws in place about disturbing church services in any fashion. Chances are at the very most you would be asked to 'move on' or on the other hand, if you did this outside a church that was on the extreeme rright...you might end up with getting over-whelmed with bible thumping evangelists looking to exorcise your caboose.
Either way, it's a reaction, It's up to you if you wanna take that risk, because there is also a risk of a violent confrontation...are you prepared for that?
I'd re-think before acting.

You sound like a guy I once read about. What was his name? Saul errahhhh ah Paul..yeah that's it Paul!!
Acts 9:1-9
Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest
and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven.
Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?”
And he said, “Who are You, Lord?”
Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.”
So he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do You want me to do?” Then the Lord said to him, “Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”
And the men who journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice but seeing no one.
Then Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened he saw no one. But they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus.
And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.
Then: Acts 13:9
Then Saul, who also is called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him
Keep livin' Be Blessed.

There is time and a place for everything, I wouldn't go into a church and try that and if you were asked to leave and didn't there is cause to being arrested

Well, most likely this would happen to you!
But why to do such act?
They will be deeper in their ... believes!
Ah! Try to find and read from the Republic of Plato the Myth of the Cave! You will see why they can not listen to us!

If that was truly the way you felt why would you even be at the church in the first place.
