RESEARCH is fundamental!

While I completely agree with the above, the discussion originally centered around religion in rituals. No amount of research into a GLO is going to give you that information. Potential members should keep in mind that MANY GLOs have religious references in their ritual, particularly those groups that were founded in the 1800's and early 1900's. If it is a deal breaker for a potential member to participate in a ritual where God, Jesus or the Bible are referenced then the member should discuss these concerns with someone in their group prior to being initiated. Don't assume that your new member educator or someone else in your group is going to tell you anything about ritual beforehand "just in case".
