I totally respect your right to believe what you want and worship as you see fit, but you wouldn't want someone like me in a mosque. I'd be glad to observe your sacred rituals and recite your sacred verses, but the very second I'm engaged in conversation after the service, my inner Dawkins will kick in and it's very hard to get that genie back in the bottle. Like most Internet Atheists™, I've spend more time learning how to debate religion than I have getting my degree in college.
This is an idea with very good intentions, and for that I really do appreciate it, but I think your best bet would be interfaith barbecues (no pork!) or something like that, where people of different faiths come together to have a good time and learn people with other beliefs aren't monsters or terrorists. There's an Assyrian church around the corner that regularly has huge parties and folks of many different faiths show up and they all have a great time.
