Religiosity was never a trait of any Scout groups I came in contact with over the course of my life. There certainly was no scrutinizing of the young lads on whether they were sufficiently religious to belong.
I suppose there may have been the occasional crypto-atheist who nevertheless mouthed the Scout Oath. IMO, it's activist lawyers and judges who are driving this issue in their search for utopia.

In my experience, Scouts had to voice a belief in God. Different Scout troops may do more than that, but that was and is a bottom-line criterion.
