Being religious at Fordham is not necessarily exclusively Roman Catholic. 40% of students are not Catholic. My D has had 3 Jewish professors so far. All were STELLAR profs. Just amazing. There are spiritual retreats offered for students at Fordham’s retreat house. They are VERY SPECIAL. Your spirituality and religious views will be welcomed at Fordham. There are clubs galore to join, and I imagine a significant number of non Catholics meet in groups to share their views. If Fordham is anything, its an open campus. You wont be harangued or prosletyzed. Theology is taught from a perspective of surveys of other religions or philosophical discussion, not doctrinal. (There are upper division Honors Catholic Studies programs which are VERY prestigious, for those who have an interest.)

You will be welcomed at Fordham, trust me.
