I cringe at the very words' religious group'. Religion is a very personal thing and it all about your relationship with God. I am keen to get closer and closer to God day by day and cherish what little relationship I have with Him already, but I do not consider myslef to belong to a particular group. If you see yourself as a member of a group then you might tend to follow what they do and its quite possible that they are all on the wrong track, or they might begin to lsoe the track. So one needs to check 'by associating with these people, am I getting closer to God or not?' That is real religion. That relationship. Its not a 'group thing'. You can't join a religion and you can't leave it.
However you can 'associate' with others and thats where the idea of 'group' might come in but it ought never to be exclusive. Its nice to have 'association' - friends who are on the same path as you, either further along or a little behind you, to encourage and help along. There is something really sublime about being with people who are also trying to get closer to God.

Participation in not only the rituals, meetings, et al of said group, but also participation in helping outside said meetings. In other words, just going and sitting isn't what makes you part of the group, it's a committment to building that group and improving it.

if you are looking at Christianity the daily quota for killing muslims will depend on what type of christian you want to be. And you'll also have to learn how to properly bash your fellow Chritians that don't share your exact theology. Lessons are given freely at your lcoal church. But if you're gonna ask a Catholic proest be sure and take your own KY.
