<p>^I know nothing about Bama and so I’m not challenging your assertion, merely this: how do you know that “a non-believer will also feel welcome at UAlabama”? For example, does the chapel sponsor atheist/agnostic student groups? What percentage of students identify as atheist/agnostic? (Not counting non-practicing Christians, who will “fit in” to a predominantly religious environment much more easily.) I think a non-believer thinking about going to the Bible Belt has a legitimate concern about not feeling “left out” religiously.</p>
