“And now, finally, we will be boarding Group F. These are the freaks, the castoffs, the dregs of our flight. Your super economy fare has contributed nothing to our bottom line. Every moment we spend on you is a moment wasted. Welcome aboard.”

The name change is probably good idea. Would be even better to change your policy on atheists to allow them to participate as scouts and as adult leaders.
