"Brudnoy himself also champions the cause of atheist boys gaining entry into the Scouts. Since its inception, the Boy Scouts of America has affirmed a belief in God. In February, the BSA board declared that “duty to God is not a mere ideal for those choosing to associate with the Boy Scouts of America; it is an obligation, which has defined good character throughout the BSA’s 92-year history. But in an interview with AP, Brudnoy pledged to call on the Boston Scouts affiliate to allow atheists as members: “Currently an atheist or agnostic kid cannot be a scout,” [Brudnoy] said, adding that he planned to call for change,“ wrote the AP’s Ken Maguire."
I'm an atheist, but I have no intention of signing my sons up for the BSA. You all can keep it. Just keep it out of the gov't, too, including public schools, to which I'm forced to give money even though I don't send my kids there. Freedom of religion, yes. Not freedom for the religious to take my money and force me to support their cause. The only answer: Separation of Church & State and Separation of School & State.

Does this mean you believe the Boy Scouts should not be permitted to use public school buildings (in the evenings or other times school isn't in session) for meetings and things?

Separation of Church & State

Only met we would not have an official religion to represent this nation. Like in Italy the Catholic Church is the official Religion, Russia the Greek Orthodox was the nation religion, England it was Episcopal religion. etc. It never was met exclusion of God, for it was God who guided man to win the revelation and sat up this nation like it or not!.

Because of God we have a free nation for all believers and non-believes.

Wisdom is don’t kill the Goose that laid the Golden Egg!

Today Colorado burns, yet they choosed for the Colorado High School graduation, to sing the Global Anthem, instead of the National Anthem last week – now it may be a stretch, but they do not have blessing assisting them in this scourge.

You might not like the God fearing people, try living in a world without them and you will see how quickly this world will be come void and desolate.
