Is there some harm derived from this
?I'm not catholic but it wouldn't bother me if a priest blessed my kid...for that matter if the hindus,buddists,baptists,muslims,catholics,and hare krishnas all want to form a blessing line and chant,throw holy water,pray,throw flowers or do whatever they feel will help them as the team passes by it wouldn't bother me a bit.
What kind of boyscout troop does he attend where 'religion is stuffed down his throat'?I was in a troop as a kid and don't recall any real emphasis on religion.My kids are in a troop sponsered by the lds church and even there generally the closing prayer at the end of the meeting is the only religious aspect to the meetings.
Some people are so overly sensitive about religion that I imagine they would cuss out someone who said "God bless you" when they sneezed
