VERSION|0.5.1|NAME|Graham|DATE|1372011480|CONTENT|There&#039;s a significant difference between what the Guides have done and what the Scouts are proposing.  The guides have altered their Promise so that it&#039;s appropriate for everybody.  It looks like the Scouts are going to keep their original Promise but create a separate one for atheists.  ie the child only gets to say the atheist promise if they are prepared to put their head above the parapet and risk stigma by declaring themselves non-religious.  

Presumably this is an extension of their existing policy whereby Jews and Muslims already have separate Promises.  Indeed, I believe there are complete &quot;Muslim&quot; troops.  Sounds like, doubtless with the best of intentions, they&#039;ve created a more divisive situation whilst trying to be inclusive.  Didn&#039;t think that one out, did they?|IP-ADDRESS|95.149.11.71|MODERATIONFLAG|
