<p>mom2collegekids, at schools in the south a large majority of the students join a religious organization such as FCA or Campus Crusade for Christ, sometimes the large amount of students who join these groups can make the group feel as dominant as greek life to people who are not involved in these religious groups. Believe me, it’s not a matter of feeling “left out”, it’s a matter of feeling like everyone is a part of it but you don’t want to do it because that’s not what you believe.</p>

<p>Also, some schools (including public schools) do have all-faiths chapels.
<<<<<<<</p>

<p>Campus Crusade is not big at UA. I just went to the Alabama Campus Crusade Facebook page and it only has about 160 members - that wouldn’t even intimidate at a small school, much less a large school. I also doubt my son has even heard of CC at UA, much less ever been “preached to.”</p>

<p>Alabama is not “religious” feeling school at all. Again, since many Bama kids have roots from everywhere, their beliefs are too wide for one group to intimidate the others. Of course there are kids who have beliefs and go to their varous worship places on weekends, but what campus doesn’t have that?</p>

<p>Alabama does not have a “campus all-faith chapel”. </p>

<p>This is DS1’s 3rd year at UA. He has 2 or 3 agnostic/atheist friends. None of them have complained about being harassed or anything. No one says anything about the issue to them. </p>

<p>Alabama is not some bible-thumping school. However, when I was at UCI, there were bible-thumpers on campus screaming out all kinds of nutty things…so I guess it would be safe to say that the UC schools are suspect (jk)</p>

<p>BTW…Pierre…Maybe at SOME schools in the south a majority join CC or similarly strident groups…but not all of them…(I doubt CC is that popular at UAHuntsville or UABirmingham, either.)</p>
