This is a bit of a hot-button topic, but here's my worthless opinion.

I'm not sure why an atheist would WANT to join an organization that proclaims itself to following a certain faith. When I was chapter vice-president we had an atheist associate who complained non-stop about our creed and associate ceremony mentioning Jesus and the Bible as ideals. Finally we had to ask him why he would join an organization whose ideals he disagreed with. He was let go because the problem snowballed as he became more upset and personally I was glad to see him go (last I heard he was a huge drug fiend after flunking out of college... have a nice day).

As a Christian would it make sense for me to join an atheist group? Of course not. I think they have their right to exist, so I don't bother them. This is just my view.

I don't think anyone should be quarantined or banned because of their beliefs, but that person should know what they're getting themselves into before spouting off about "forcing beliefs" on them. No one MADE them decide to join.
