People have a right to present their views in public, but that doesn't mean they should get to scream them in my face when I'm trying to walk down the street.

It depends. Is it a person doing a little prayer or is it a person with a mega-phone blasting people with it? Is it a presentation that people have the option of ignoring or not attending or is it a presentation that everyone within sight of are expected to stop what they are doing and pay attention. A person randomly asking people about their religion and beliefs is rude. A person with a sign saying "Ask me about Jesus" is not, it is an invitation and not an intrusion. Public displays of religion are not always a bad thing but they can be when they are forced upon people.

Depends upon what you call being presented in public. Personally thought, as an Atheist, I oppose religion and prayer at public events because of the situation it puts me in. As any Atheist, or non believer knows, if you don't participate, a lot of these believers can get real nasty, so I prefer to not to have to not participate.

Where would you want it presented, in some hide-away somewhere? Every Christian church service is a public service. Anyone can enter. We don't check ID badges at the door.

They have the right to free asembly as much as any one else does.
As long as they are not hurting anyone then there is not much we can do against it other than counter protests if you like

I like it. Jesus said not to pray in public, but heck that only pertains to Christians.
