This is all we ask...we do not care how you believe in a higher authority, whether it has mulitiple forms, believes itself to be the only one, eats chicken every night, as long as you follow the above quote from Bononia Docet, our pledge manual.

To me, that seems vague (now, I'm not saying that's a bad thing at all, so please don't take it that way). Anything could be a higher authority, really. I think that you could be an atheist and still believe in a higher authority. To me, the term "higher authority" does not equal god. The earth or nature could be considered a higher authority. Or the stock market. Or your mother. I'm not trying to be funny -- I just think that could mean anything.
Edited to add: BTW, I'm Buddhist and I do not believe in a higher, divine being.
