I came across Calvin College, and I like everything about it except the fact that it is Christian. I really want to attend such an LAC (that is in an urban location, offers aid, and has a CS program), but can’t seem to find one that is non-religious.

I’m an international student and an atheist. I currently go to a Christian school, so I obviously don’t mind going to a Christian college. But how religious is Calvin and its student body? Are they hardcore Catholics? And are there some restrictions or are you forced to engage in religious activities? From my research, I could only find a couple of religious courses that are mandatory.
