        Just claim to be Universalists. Even if you believe that Gawd is Lrrr from Omnicron Persei 8, you’re covered. VERY open-minded bunch.

          Better they get with the program. Telling an Atheist to claim to be religious is dishonest. Some may do it, some won’t.

                  Leroy Brown, I was rather intimidating to look at in my youth.

                    he was badder than old King Kong

        Every meeting I ever attended opened with a prayer and in my handbooks and a couple really old ones I own are statements that refer to a deity. I would not say it was a religious organization, but there was an acknowledgement of a higher being.

    55 years ago my scout leader was gay…so what …we knew and didn’t care….this is from a community that in 1950 it was illegal for men to wear bermuda shorts

    Good for the Boy Scouts!
    I wish it had come sooner, but at least the change came eventually.
