I have to confirm what kardelen wrote. I am not Catholic and I have yet to feel out of place (I am going into my sophomore year). Everyone is so welcoming and friendly, that there isn’t a sense of isolation if you don’t identify Catholic. There is a majority that identify as Catholic, but there is a range of faithfulness and many may have questioned their faith since they filled out the dreaded Common App. There are also many organizations that students with other faiths attend (I’ve been to some events run by BC Hillel).

Ironically, the class I took for my Theology core (Biblical Heritage I & II) actually was one of my favorite classes at BC. Similar to bluebayou’s class, it had an academic perspective and actually focused more on the Old Testament. My professor for the class actually moved onto another teaching job at a Baptist university and she was worried about how that university would react to her class (which demonstrates how open BC is).

So don’t break a sweat.
