Agreed. I remember this specifically in discussing someone of the NIC fraternities that still explicitly identify themselves as Christian or as being for only those who believe in a higher power. It was never clear to me if these kinds of broad group identifications actually authorized chapters to reject atheists on the basis of being atheists. Even so, if that were a problem, it's something I would think the group would deal with on an individual basis with that member or chapter rather than just up and dechartering the chapter. Now, if the chapter were distributing atheistic literature or holding black sabbaths or something (lol), maybe then it would be a case for dechartering.
