Yeah, that's the best way. If on one side, no one makes a big deal out
of proclaiming that they're an agnostic or atheist, and on the other
side the sponsoring organization doesn't push religion, then everything
works out okay. It's when someone feels the need to complain about
hypocrisy that things escalate out of control.

a I have no problems with sponsoring organization pushing religion if it
is a religious organization.

I was an assistant scoutmaster in a troop sponsored by a church. I took all
of the leadership training available.

In seven years, I never heard a boy say the was Christian or agnostic. I
never heard it in the training either.

The church never pushed it's doctrine.

It seems to me that a lot of people here without any experience with the
scouts are talking about things they know nothing about.

Scouting is about citizenship, preparedness, and helping others, just basic
good stewardship.
