does not necessarily mean that the support will be religiously oriented.
If a phone number or contact is available, you could call first and ask the leader if the focus is religious.
Some religious leaders are trained in grief counseling and can and will concentrate on that aspect as opposed to religious answers.

Good luck to you in your effort to get help in your need.
