I did this already. Sometimes not many groups fit in special purposes. Of course, there are many religious groups around dA. Most of them I thought they would, I tested .... and unfortunately they were not tolerant enough.
Well, I am proud of that we are affiliated with DeviantHeart. Everybody can apply but not everybody is chosen. You have to fill in an application form with 10 questions and you have to proof that you contribute positivity throughout dA. I did and that what I am proud of. A big group would be nice, but is not necessarily my aim.
What I like is nice affiliates because I consider to join their groups as well, and want to be treated by others as I am treating them.
I came about your group by a kind writer friend of mine who is member in it. Carefully I have read your "about us", purpose, members and studied your group's gallery - I think that your group fits fine as well as what you represent.
