The Schleitheim Confesion, Article 3

THE BREAKING OF BREAD 

Only those who have been baptized can take part in Communion. Participation in Communion is a remembrance of Christ's body and blood; the real body and blood of Christ are not present in the sacrament.

----

Communion -- or the Lord's Supper or the Eucharist or whatever you call it -- is the central act of Christian worship. It's one of the reasons we're told to gather together. As such it is for Christians only. Allowing others outside the faith to participate in this symbolic act is harmful, not helpful, to them.
