Oh, one I left out.
In his letter of appeal to the Scouts' national office, Lambert said the reason for his dismissal was "un-Scout-like and un-American" and that "morals come from more than a belief in God."
The BSA has never said that morals come only from a belief in God. What they are saying is that while a belief is God is not sufficient to have morals, such a belief is necessary.

If he doesn't like the Boy Scouts, why does he want to be one ?

"morals come from more than a belief in God."
IF you don't believe morals come from God, then you believe morals come from YOU, or from society. Either way, I'm sorry but I find atheism to be prima facie evidence of immorality. I could never vote for an avowed atheist for public office. What atheists call morals are really obeying the rules - cash register honesty - in such a way as they judge to benefit themselves the most.
