Wrong yet again, on all three issues.....

BSA policy welcomes all beliefs....Atheism is not a belief but the lack of one.....

"This just isn't true. Even the BSA says as much."

Gee...making up quotes and attributing them to BSA....

Are you a member? Guess not...I'm a Scoutmaster and the training I received in this area is just as I stated....What are your credentials?

I didn't make up any quote. The BSA clearly says that they do not admit athiests. Athiesm is a belief system - one you clearly disagree with, but a belief system nonetheless. Therefore, BSA policy does not welcome all beliefs. This shouldn't be hard to understand.

My highest rank was Life Scout, btw, if that matters at all. I'm not quarreling with you about BSA policy - I'm quarreling with you about what your definition of belief is. I don't understand how anyone can say that the BSA welcomes all beliefs when it doesn't welcome athiests.
