If they truly are welcoming of members from diverse backgrounds, your personal beliefs and view of spirituality should not be an issue. If you are a true athiest, then you can recite a prayer or a vow to God and consider them just "words." I don't see where it needs to be an issue. If you have to put your hand on a Bible it won't matter to you: it's just a book. They don't need to know your religious views, sexual orientation or your political views.

Ok, so today, I walked about a mile to the house to talk to them, and they simply told me that don't force religion on anyone. One of the guys said he was Jewish and that he hated church. The conversation took about three minutes.

I would hate church too, if I was Jewish.

I'm glad everything went OK!
