Add Atheism info box to all atheism related talk pages (use {{WikiProject Atheism}} or see info box)
Ensure atheism-related articles are members of Atheism by checking whether [[Category:Atheism]] has been added to atheism-related articles – and, where it hasn't, adding it.
Try to expand stubs. Ideas and theories about life, however, are prone to generating neologisms, so some stubs may be suitable for deletion (see deletion process).
State atheism needs a reassessment of its Importance level, as it has little to do with atheism and is instead an article about anti-theist/anti-religious actions of governments.

The 2019 BSA annual report seems to be remarkably sparse on numbers. Anyone have any pointers to what the numbers were? We could add up the numbers of total youth members in each of the regional reports, but, there is no breakdown by division. That total comes to 2,118,449 which seems odd given that the previous year was 2,076,716 (and that the trend has been a decline). If they had actually gone up, I would expect them to have trumpeted it. I note that the LDS members would be in this total since they did not leave until the beginning of this year. --Erp (talk) 17:27, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I've added the 2020 figures which are a shocking drop and probably a combo of the LDS leaving and the pandemic. This should be annotated once we have some reliable sources. --Erp (talk) 22:26, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I think that you are correct on the two main causes. Probably would have been larger if the addition of girls to the big programs didn't add some. North8000 (talk) 13:29, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Found 2021 numbers from the WOSM "WOSM's Membership Census". World Scout Bureau. Retrieved 6 December 2023.. Look at the Census 2021 (data as of 31 December 2021 which is the date the BSA also uses for its numbers in its annual report). (526,310 [cubs], 439,603 [scouts], 17,280 [venturers], 983,193 [total]). Though selecting the link will ask you to sign in you can just select download on the form and continue.
