This makes sense. That organization has the goal of promoting Christianity, and should be allowed to have members that are like-minded. If it was merely a business owned by Christians, that would be different; but since this the organization is evangelistic in nature, wanting only Christians makes sense.

"Must"? No. Should they have the option to? If their goal is specifically to spread Christianity, then yes.
Should a women's rights organization be allowed to hire only those that believe in women's rights?

be able to promote those views but there is no need for office staff

Do you need to be a Christian to run a ticket booth, serve / prepare food, run a ride, etc.?
While there may be jobs there which are primarily to "promote Christianity", clearly there would be jobs which are not .

“AiG is confusing what they have the right to do as a private organization with what taxpayers are required to fund,” says Greg Lipper, senior litigation counsel for Americans United for Separation of Church and State. “They’re saying Kentucky taxpayers should pay for them to expand a religious ministry. That kind of argument would make Thomas Jefferson turn in his grave.”

The post that was quoted here has been removedInteresting, that you dodged my question about a women's rights organization hiring those who believe in women's rights. The fact that you did this shows you understand why the point is correct.
Chess isn't an ideology, or fundamental belief like a religion is. Therefore, your chess analogy fails.

Since the theme park is evangelistic in nature, the job of everyone there would be to contribute to evangelizing, even if it's indirectly, like with having what Christians consider a "Christ-like" attitude.
