I dunno why but I think it is

I dunno why but I think it is kind of awesome organizers of boy scouts are more terrified of atheist then the idea of letting girls into boy scouts.

I actually feel most all little kids are atheist, they just mimic and parrot what their parents and peers and teachers say. Little kids for the most part do not yet really examine on a strong level all the religious stuff, and truly form their own opinion on it. They just want to go play.
