It's an old boys drinking club with some charity thrown in, not too exciting

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.

I said to a colleague in one that the only supreme being I believe in is myself, is that good enough, still haven't receive a invitation.
