I basically used the quote from Sagan, "But if by God one means the set of physical laws that govern the universe, then clearly there is such a God" to justify that yes I believed in God. No one questioned me as a Scout Leader once 7 years. I was the target of conversion on a few occasions, but never challenged on my membership.
