The Girl Scout Oath will allow the girls to substitute "Goddess" or "Higher Power" (or the like) for "God" which I think is pretty enlightened of them!  |
I think you always had to believe in God to be a BS. I read nothing to the contrary
If you are talking about them being sued for it, well that probably did not happen until sometime in the last 30 years, but the religious aspect was always there
