An atheist friend's younger sister is being drawn into a Christian youth-group for this exact reason.

Don't miss out on youth-group just because they might teach you about God. At least, don't if they are anything like the youth groups I used to engage in. It is amazing how much fun you can have once you eliminate consuming alcohol as a source of entertainment. For example, you can take the alcohol, pour it on a rag covered ball, ignite it and play some soccer in the paddock. Just go easy on the headbutting.

Consuming alcohol isn't the source of entertainment per se; consuming alcohol near members of the desirable sex who are also consuming alcohol is lead-up to the source of enjoyment. I am given to understand that this is not an option within the rules she has picked up from youth group; she has a boyfriend from said group, and they have publicly agreed to stay off third base until they are married.

Ewww. Now that is something you definitely don't want to catch.
