Is it likely to be a theology discussion group, or an Abrahamic monotheism/Christianity discussion group?
I love theology & religion discussions, but find most of the ones created by Christians to be too firmly grounded in monotheism to be able to participate. (At least, without turning into a bickering flamewar. Which can be fun, but generally isn't the intended purpose.)
I'm not meaning to be argumentative; I am very interested in religious discussion, and I do understand that most of the ones organized by Christians are Christian-focused, with "general religious group" used to mean "multi-denominational Christian, plus some awareness of Judaism and Islam." (It's annoying, but I'm certainly used to it.)
I'd like to find out whether there's any chance I'd feel welcome in the discussion group. I expect I'd be plenty welcome to watch; I'm asking if I'd be welcome to participate, or if that would just wind up with me being frustrated and some of the other people being annoyed or uncomfortable or both.
