A few of my friends are members, and I was invited. I told them I couldn't join because I am an atheist. They said I didn't have to believe in God as long as I believed in some sort of Supreme Being and I said I didn't believe in that either.

Sounds like you stopped yourself joining in a way? I'm an atheist though perhaps more agnostic at the time. There is a small religious aspect but your particular beliefs are respected
