That is what I honestly would feel like. Just thinking about this really makes my heart sink down into my chest. I'm not saying I'm a wuss but I would feel alienated, and to stop this feeling of being alienated I have to join in? That just doesn't seem fair... thats all :/

Sorry if this post offends anybody, just wanted to post what I felt.

Not to offend you or be rude but by all means why not go make a group of atheists and you guys meet up during a competition. And if you did don't you think that many other "groups" would feel alienated,"left-out", or even that same, "we're outnumbered, lets just join 'em so we aren't segregated" just my personal opinion though. (2 cents of info...)

And just one more penny, i don't see why we should say, "NO, you can't for a group because it will make people feel left out." If that were the case most every robotics group should also get "denied" because it is for a certain region of the country or some other way *exclusive* to an area or group of people. I mean don't you think the people in CA might feel left out cause they don't live in New England and therefore *can't* be apart of N.E.R.D.??? Just another thought...don't hold my 3 cents against me though...
