I want to follow up on what Whistle Pig said, to emphasize something that repeatedly causes confusion on this board. When people say that they are looking to go to a "Christian College," what they USUALLY mean is a college that more-or-less integrates more-or-less evangelical Protestant teachings into its curriculum and campus life. They generally don't mean Catholic colleges, and they generally don't mean colleges that are historically affiliated with a denomination but where that fact doesn't play a major role in curriculum or campus life.
There is still a lot of variety in this kind of Christian College-the same student would probably not want to go to Wheaton College or Bob Jones University, for example. But I would have to say that an atheist would probably not be happy at any of these Christian Colleges, because he would be too much out of the mainstream. Indeed, some of them would not admit him, because they have affirmation of faith requirements.
