Religious atmosphere in college

<p>Do you know how strong the religious atmospheres in the colleges below are?</p>

<p>I want to go to not religious college or University.</p>

<p>So, please tell me about it if you know.</p>

<p>williams, amherst,middlebury, bowdoin,carleton,wesleyan,washington and lee,hamilton,bates,colgate,colby,oberlin,colorado,U of richmond,whitman,connecticut,skidmore</p>

<p>Most of those schools are not known for having a strong religious presence. In fact, at most of those colleges, religion is almost completely non-existant. </p>

<p>Washington and Lee is probably the only school on that list that has a significant religious atmosphere, but even that is no longer as pronounced as it once was.</p>

<p>There would be religious students enrolled, but none of these schools has any impactful relationship to a denomination as far as I know. I believe that Richmond was originally Baptist, but its website makes no mention of that now.</p>

<p>Wesleyan, by virtue of its name, suggests that it has a Methodist connection but it is certainly not a “religious” type place. Many schools that have a Methodist connection are pretty liberal and secular—Boston University, American University and Duke–just to name a few.</p>

<p>Most of these schools aren’t very religious. I don’t think very many LACs are. They might tend towards a certain religion, like Methodism or Quaker, but they certainly aren’t like other super-religious schools (cough Notre Dame cough)</p>
