Is it generally acceptable to attend a bible study as a non Christian?

I am a bit curious about seeking out a bible study. There are several reasons for this: A friend of mine (in another country) says she finds such a study group enjoyable, and it seems to be a good way to meet new people. (I myself just moved to a new country, where Christianity seems to have a larger place in society than I am used to). It will help me understand Christianity better. However, I do not really consider myself a Christian. Will I be out of place in such a study group, or even, will people be offended? I do like to question things, and ask if something is unclear (I have a strong background in science). Is this something that might make people uneasy?
