Just out of curiosity, I did a quick check of a few other public schools in Virginia (William & Mary, Mary Washington, and Tech) and confirmed that, like UVa, they don’t ask applicants about religious affiliation. If the government required us to report on it, we’d be asking the question.

Of the schools where I have worked, two (private, religiously affiliated) schools did ask the question and one (secular, private) did not.
