wtf should I do? I don't want to join anyone's religion, but I also don't want to seem like a dick. The guy even bought me some $80 altar already. I'm stressing the fuck out

Start saying no - stop feeling bad about being polite and going and run your own life - straight up say no im not joining thanks for asking

every time I even start thinking about saying no I get a terrible feeling inside that just kills me, I don't know why it's so hard. I was so decided on calling him up yesterday to say no, but when I grabbed my phone I just sat there for like an hour trying to get myself to do it.

I dont get it - you say you dont want to go, but you cant tell him that?
I guess just get the nerve to say it, or be dragged around by someone else and be controlled

Its hard sometimes to stand up and show your feelings
Wait until he asks you again, and tell him no.
Practice your line, over and over again "I appreciate you asking me, but i have to say no, im not going to go"
Practicing it over and over alone will get you ready to say it for real, you will be prepared
