Atheist Scout Could be Booted

From The Seattle Times, Atheist Scout fights decision to boot him:

The Chief Seattle Council of the Boy Scouts has given Eagle Scout Darrell Lambert about a week to decide “in his heart” if he’s truly an atheist. If he insists on sticking to his belief that there is no God, the Council will terminate his membership. […]

Hmm, I’m not sure how I feel about that one. Sure, the Boy Scouts have a right to boot him if they want to, but I’m not sure if that’s the right thing to do. (Link from ObscureStore)
