Fordham is a Jesuit college affiliated with the Catholic church. But by no means is the school only for Catholics. The Jesuits mission is to educate, not to push religion on people. The school does have a core curriculum which includes 2 theology and 2 philosophy classes. The Lincoln Center campus (where the theater program located) is known to be quite liberal and diverse. Here is the website for the theater program. [Fordham University Theatre Program](http://www.fordham.edu/academics/programs_at_fordham_/theatre_department/)

My son graduated from Fordham- Rose Hill campus a couple of years ago and while I"m sure there was a higher percentage of Catholics than at some other colleges, he had friends who were Jewish/Muslim/Atheist and they were all happy at Fordham. I would suggest that it is worth a visit to Fordham to see if you are comfortable there.
