The BSA had better figure out a more general answer to this question
than simply banning people from leadership positions.  

A Catholic child might say this today to a married Protestant minister.
A Quaker child might say this today to a veteran.
A Mormon child of a few decades past might have said this to a black 
Scoutmaster.
A Jewish child might say this to anyone eating a ham and egg breakfast.

Certainly the BSA cannot be ready to pull, as role models, every person
who is or does something to which some other religion objects.
