Does the GSUSA really accept flat-out atheists? Basically, if a girl says, I have no religious belief, no spiritual life, and I neither believe in nor accept God, can she truly be a Girl Scout?
I know that the commonly held belief is that the GSUSA is atheist friendly, but the website also says that they believe a 'spiritual' side is necessary. Since I'm not aware of any court case that tested THIS issue, what is the real, official policy?
If anyone really knows, my HUGE thanks in advance!
