The first question that came to my mind is does a council have a
"right" to sponsor a particular religious belief, whether its a faith
of the majority of the population or otherwise.
I was taught, I hope correctly since it is what I teach others, that
BSA national policy is that BSA is completely non-sectarian in its
approach to promoting religion and faith in one's Creator.
Not certain I comprehend how incorporating the symbol of any specific
religious belief into a CSP, whether of the predominent (in numbers)
faith or a minority (in numbers) faith comports with the (as I
understand them) non-sectarian rules and regs.
