<p>I think you can start by looking at the colleges policies and procedures. For ecample</p>
<p>Does a school have mandatory chapel or even a frequently attended voluntary chapel?
Do they require signing or agreeing to live by a community covenant?
Are pastoral recommendations required as part of the application process?
Are their rules in place tied to the religious faith ?</p>
<p>To me - it has to be in a school’s ethos and it has to manifest itself in a schools actions, policies, etc. It is not enough to be merely affiliated with a certain religion, or to have a number of students of a certain faith attending. Hence I think you really have 3 categories: Religious schools, religious lite schools (ie those that have some tie to religion but really aren’t a full fledged religous school) and secular schools</p>
