If your faith is important to you, if it helps to define you or sets you apart then it should be a part of your story, address it in your essay. On the other hand, a disingenuous attempt at some contrived spirituality will be seen for what it is.

Fordham is looking for the best and brightest kids, not the best Catholic, or Muslim, or Jewish kids. That said, I’m sure a number of applicants are attracted to the Catholic and Jesuit traditions that define the school. Be sure to check this out [Fordham’s Jesuit Tradition](http://www.fordham.edu/discover_fordham/fordhams_jesuit_trad/)

In the end, you are looking for the best fit in your college search. Be true to yourself in the essay.
