Question Religion and its role in Greek Organizations

I'm just curious to hear what others have to say about this issue. It seems to me that the vast majority of Greek Organizations have a close tie to religion. Let me throw out a scenario:

A GLO whose ritual is centered around Christian beliefs and concepts. An athiest/agnostic PNM wants to join. Certainly a conflict of interest. Has anyone encountered this sort of thing? In the everyday operations of your chapter, how big of a role does religion play? Do you pray before chapter meals? Is there an invocation and benediction (non-ritual) at gatherings or meetings?

I am not trying to start a thread where all people do is debate religion, so please don't turn it into that. I am just curious...

ETA: found a link that addresses this exact situation.
