Hey, sorry was going to post this reply about an hour ago when I realised I had a radio show to be on very shortly..
So yeah, It'd be a dick move if Jesus Week was a positive event. It's not.
It's run by the Evangelical Students club, who are backed by one of those crazy rich megachurch/business/pyramidscheme churches (Influencers and Hillsong here in Australia, to be precise).
Their club gives them all identical sweaters to wear, and they go around trying to 'lure' people into their club with promise of free cake and other foods, but then they ask you all of these twisting questions to try and get you to admit that you believe in god. The worst thing is they deliberately target new international students, as it's likely they don't have many new friends and they play on those insecurities and anxieties and be like "Trust US. Trust GOD, We'll Help You. God Helps You". It's kinda cult-like, which makes me sick.
The event used to be a lot more inclusive though, and traditionally, we always had a formal debate between their club and ours on the first day (where they always set the question and it's always something wanky like "Is God Love, Yes or No?"). These days though it's just ridiculous. I'm fine for religious events to happen on campus, but the fact that this club gets a whole week is just not right.
So what we try and do is provide a bit of comic relief in the middle of a week which is usually very annoying for a lot of students. I think this year we might try and get a game of Brian Tag happening as well (where we designate someone as the "Brian" and the rest of us chase them through campus with gourds and sandals)
We're just trying to have a bit of fun, really :-)

I admittedly jumped to conclusions here because the atheist societies I've seen have pulled shit like what I was describing pretty often, and basically given atheists a bad names.
