I certainly can understand them barring non-believers from membership. I've yet to be convinced why someone who does not believe would want to be part of a Christian Union. The argument that they want to find out more before committing etc falls flat because there are no doubt plenty of churches and bible study classes (especially in a city as large as Hull) where they can do that. Just about each town will have a church which will run an Alpha Course (do a google if you've not heard of it), specifically set up for people who want to know more.
