An intentionally contravercial question, simply because I can't
justify what I would think is the obvious answer:

Say one holds like RT about shituf for benei Noach.

How could one rank a center which included institutionalized chilul
Shabbos as a better use of the space than worship for benei Noach of a
format permitted to them?
