I have to agree with Mr. Earp

If a particular organization was founded upon certain religious concepts, I don't feel as though that organization is obliged to change it's history (which is perhaps the most valued aspect of a GLO) in order to accomodate a select few. However, referring to the link that I posted above, I don't feel as though a member should ever be forced to compromise his/her own beliefs just to go along with "status quo."

Another perspective to look at is that of the "athiest/agnostic" individual. Should they follow through with ritual which requires them to affirm a belief in a Supreme being for the sake of not being given the boot, or at the least, not being ostracized by the other members?

Any first-hand experiences with this sort of situation?
