There are plenty of other non-religious groups one can belong to, and not all peers are so judgmental that they'd dislike you because of your religion.
Any group gives you certain opportunities, and also takes some away (if you conform to it to such an extent that going outside of it is a non-option).
Oh that's completely not true I'm sorry to say.
America is a VERY socially conservative country intermeshed with religion even among its supposed liberals. If you want access to quality in America you're going to have to play along to some extent.
