The subject is rather fully covered in 50 C.J.S., Juries, § 229, p. 976, wherein it is said: ‘The fact that a person is a member of a particular order, association, or other organization does not, as a general rule, of itself render such person incompetent as a juror.’ This is the rule applied in the case of all sorts of organizations such as Ku Klux Klan, labor unions, religious organizations, churches or fraternal orders.. . . ””
