It depends on the organization. Certain private organizations are not subject to anti-discrimination laws.
Re: non-allowance of members not of a particular religion/race/etc
If it is a non-profit religious or charitable organization, it may be exempt from anti-discrimination laws. If it is any other form of organization, it probably is subject to those laws. An aggrieved party, excluded from membership, may have a lawsuit. If that is you, or if you are a board member, contact me if interested in pursuing and correcting this.
