Once again: my problem is not with the BSA but with those people who rail against Pagans, Wiccans, Muslims, New Agers, but seem to have no problem with the fact that children with these religions and beliefs can join together with their own children.
And how do they know that their children are not exposed or even influenced by these (in their opinion) erroneous beliefs especially if the BSA doesn't make any statement about the superiority of the Christian religion for instance over Wicca or Islam.

"The Boy Scouts of America maintain that no member can grow into the best kind of citizen without recognizing his obligation to God." Boy Scouts of America, Bylaws

What's the problem? There are many paths to God and each member of a relgion thinks their path is the correct one.

It isn't the BSA duty to teach the scouts about religion or God, that is the parents duty. It is only a BSA requirement that you recognise an obligation to God.

I think your picking nits.
