I know when it was founded 150 years or so ago it was very much based on Christianity (hence the C in the name) but these days, it seems like moslty a health club/community center thing. Has their official charter moved away from the religious aspects?

The honest answer would be that the YMCA has moved to the same extent that society has moved. It is still a Christian organization, but not in the prayerful way it once was. Today it follows what it believes to be a modern, across-the-board brand of Christianity. But it welcomes non-Christians into its programs.
