<p>two daughters went to Furman. I’d say we’re soft Catholics. Both thought Furman was great. There are some probably like at most colleges that are religiuos but its not pushed on anyone. There’s no underlying religious themes. The chapel there has services for almost all denominations. Your son will be fine at FU (the school has a cheer, FU one time, FU two times, FU all the time… then at basketball games after a player from the visiting team is annouced the students yell "FU)'. Now do you still think its a strictly religious school? LOL</p>
