I am sorry that you aren't feeling good about it. You mentioned that you asked them to "learn more about it". When you asked your questions was it in a friendly tone & non confrontational manner? Telling others that they need to "learn about it" can upset people easily, maybe you could have shared that you read something different or asked them to clarify further.
I am sure you will find another group, check out
Do something, Learn something, Share something, Change something - Meetup for some other groups in your area. Check out the spiritual section on here if you would like to have an open discussion on the issue you were having.
Take care & all of the best in your recovery ~NB
