If they were to look down upon you because you're in their club and you aren't a christian, they wouldn't be very christ-like. Jesus Christ not only associated with his followers, but he also kept company with those who were yet to become his followers. He was a friend of tax collectors, women of ill-repute, and people who practiced all kinds of things that went against what he believed in. Why? Because he cared about them and he wanted them to do what's right. It doesn't matter what kind of person you are. Any club that excludes certain people are being biased. For instance, if a club excluded people of a certain race, I would assume them racist. Yes there are clubs for spanish people, black people,and probably every other race out there, but anyone can join if they wanted to. It shouldn't be any different for the christian club. If it makes you feel happy, by all means, don't feel guilty about it.

I might be a tad offended if we were supposed to be good friends and you didn't trust me enough to tell me, but I would certainly not be angry. I would be pleased and proud that you want to know more about my faith.
Yes, I think it is wonderful that you are involved, and I think it is totally fantastic that you are looking into Christianity.
If you feel more comfortable doing this "under cover", then you should do what you feel right doing.
CAVEAT:
If someone were to come right out and ask you, "are you a Christian", I do hope you would tell the truth. After all, what do you really have to hide?
I do hope you find what you are searching for! May God bless you, and guide you in your search.
My love and my prayers go with you.

You don't have to be born into a religion to believe in it.
if you find you want to become Christian stay there even if you don't but you want to stay there do it you can share with them the knowledge they have even if you don't want to be a Christian. All religions would have died if it only relied on people being born into that religion.
So even if you weren't born Christian you can still become Christian or no thats up to you that is your choice no one elses I would suggest staying in the Club you are doing nothing wrong against anyone and if you feel your comfortable with the Christian way of life join them up to you though.
Blessed be

Not that I condone deceit, but I would withhold that information for the time being. It's a lot easier to see what a religion or idea is like if people don't know that you don't believe in it (just yet).
Christians are taught to convert and evangelize all who are non-Christian. If they find out that you're not Christian, they will try to evangelize you, even if you albeit politely ask them not to.

The Wiccan group I'm a member of allows all sorts of folks to come in to explore. If they don't believe, that's fine. We just expect some civil respect. An open mind, and willingness to learn is all we ask.
I'd suggest exploring various churches if this one doens't feel right. Not only is the denominations a bit different, sometimes the whole group dynamic works better or worse with different groups.
Best of luck on your journey.

There is nothing wrong with you joining this group. In fact, I encourage you to share your struggles and reasons for your interest in Christianity. If the Christians in this club are (spiritually) mature, they will come to know what a blessing it is to introduce someone to Christ!

If you are interested in becoming Christian that is good. I hope you do believe and will have yourself baptized. One dose not have to be born Christian and still become one. A lot of people do that. I'll pray for you.

I would think they would be happy to have you in their club. Why don't you just be up front with them and tell them you are looking into the Christian faith and want to know more about it? That's the best route to take and I think they will appreciate you coming clean with them. Unless you have some secret ulterior motive, you'll be fine.

I wouldn't be offended at all. God welcomes all to His house. The only way you are going to learn about Him, other than reading the Bible is to hang out with people who can teach you. God Bless you and I hope you keep going.
