 I don't remember any vetting for the Boy Scouts. When I claimed no
denomination in boot camp the DI said 'I'm a Catholic. You're now
Catholic.'  It wasn't about religious belief per se. A time slot was
scheduled on Sunday for services and everyone had to be accounted for. I
don't think there were any Jews or they would have found themselves
Christian too. As far as Muslims, the .45 ACP 1911 pistol came to be
because Muslims were too hard to kill with a .38.

   "No Denomination" is different from 'unbeliever'.
   To the BSA it suggests that you are 'religious',
   probably Xian.
   As for the .45 ... "Moro" tribesmen - fanatical
   Islamists/Nationalists - would use drugs and
   tie rope around the body to delay any shock
   response to being shot. The USA had switched
   from the old 'cowboy Colt' to .38 because the
   latter was smaller/cheaper. Alas, NOT what was
   needed for the Moro.
