No limit on atheism. We have had several atheist kids (whose parents are lawyers) involved with no problems. It was not due to any threats of legal action or anything. The kid needed to deal with the fact that scouting was founded, in part, on religious principles and had to deal with it, but we did not force any religion on the kid.
Granted, there is no "religious" award for atheists, but there is one for just about anything else out there. It's the only one that both adult leaders (called "scouters") and the scouts can earn other than being put up for membership in the Order of the Arrow.
