OpinionYou probably don't, but feel free to check with an attorney. It is a private organization and they can have anyone they want in it. Most have Christian values. Instead, you may want to join or create an atheist scouting organization. People should have the right to have private groups for people who they consider to be like them. Those who don't like it can choose or create other groups. There is nothing wrong with being an atheist.

This is not a legal opinion.
