In the same way, if the central activity of the Boy Scouts were to get
together and worship deities, then their exclusion of atheists would be
morally unobjectionable.

Then, Gary, it is morally unobjectionable: "On my honor I promise to
do my duty to God..." is the *oath* of a Scout. Likewise, "to keep
myself...morally straight" is also just as much a part of that oath.

By that reasoning, standing alone, no one should object to the Boy
Scouts. People don't seem to understand that the knot-tying, service
projects, and merit badges are an expression of that oath, the
*means*, not the end.
