It would be interpreted as Evangelicals. Let them do it. Protestors can do other things

In 2018, the Episcopal Church had 1,835,931 baptized members, of whom 1,676,349 were in the United States. In 2011, it was the nation's 14th largest denomination. In 2015, Pew Research estimated that 1.2 percent of the adult population in the United States, or 3 million people, self-identify as mainline Episcopalians.

and photos of preteen Ivanka grinding on daddy's lap.
Those are more fitting images for this shit sandwich.

Other actions would be more effective.
Showing up in large numbers is effective, but physical distancing tends to collapse.
Body bags could be effective if continually paraded around the WH in hundreds, held aloft by four people each hence six feet apart. Gets tiring, but it is a continuing action, hence more visuals, photos, and videos than a single action where people lay bags down on the ground. The bags can be brought home and taken to the next protest.
I don't know exactly what to do, but holding bibles in the air is an evangelical thing and would not be interpreted as a parody. Even if people are interviewed, at best it would be mixed signals.
Effective propaganda needs to be obvious, can't have to be explained that "no, it's not that, it's another thing".
