Stop the Boy Scouts of America's Discrimination Against Atheists and Agnostics

Stop the Boy Scouts of America's Discrimination Against Atheists and Agnostics

The Issue

The Boy Scouts of America, one of the nation's largest not-for-profits, discriminates against atheists and agnostics and has done so for years. 16.1% of America identifies themself as agnostic or atheist, so the Boy Scouts of America is discriminating against quite a sizable minority.

The Boy Scouts of America also claims they are open to different religions, which is true. But the irreligious are completely left out. Stop this discrimination, and help us take religion out of the picture.
