Just saying… it’s right there in the name. Just wish they were honest and just admit that it’s because its an atheist group.

Also, remember, we’re talking Butler County, too.

I just found it odd- especially for the YMCA.

I spent a lot of my childhood at the local Y- or attending Y-sponsored events during the summer. And never once did they talk about God or Jesus or anything the least bit religous. (not like the Boy Scouts… where they were always trying to get me to pray)

It’s shocking that an organization called “Young Men’s Christian Association” would take offense being affiliated with an atheist camp???

Frankly, I don’t but the YMCA cover story which is essentially “we were o.k. with until people started to find out about it through its publicity.” However, legally, the YMCA has every right to not to renew a contract to this group.
