What no one seems to have addressed is the Scout Law. There are rules for being a Boy Scout and if you can not, or will not obay those laws, you are not a Scout. It is not a matter of descrimination, its a matter of what defines a Scout.
A Scout is:
Trustworthy
Loyal
Helpful
Friendly
Courteous
Kind
Obediant
Thrifty
Brave
Clean
And
Reverent (He is Reverent to God)
This is what a Scout is. If you cannot follow these laws you cannot be Scout. Its very simple
The law is very specific about what a Scout is. This Eagle Scout has not learned the Scout law (How DID he become an Eagle Scout without that I don't know) He was not Trustworthy (He lied about being reverent to God) he was not Obediant to God and He was not reverent. He Should have been thrown out of the Scout.
If one doesn't like the rules of an organization, start your own. It isn't descrimination at all. Its defining who you are and holding to it.

And once again someone ignores the very real possiblity of a Scout who believes himself to be reverent and only later loses his faith in a god.
