Notre Dame is not "considered" Christian? By whom?

By many people who self-identify as "Christians" of the born-again/evangelical variety.
My born-again BIL, for example, informed me that "Catholics are not any kind of Christian I know of."
Even if you don't agree with it, if you do not realize that this opinion is quite widely held, it is you who is uninformed.
I doubt that many Catholic colleges "warmly" welcome atheists. They certainly accept them. Whether you perceive the welcome as "warm" probably depends on how you view things such as BC's recent decision to add a crucifix in every classroom. Apparently some non-Catholic professors regarded the addition of a crucifix to their classrooms as less than "warmly" welcoming. (I'm not saying they don't have the right to do it. They are a private Catholic school, after all, and if they choose to assert that fact more forcefully one can hardly blame them.)
