Are you talking about the Brooks School or the political science program at the School of Arts & Science.

Duke is more Christian(including Catholics) than most Ivies with possible exception of Dartmouth. Read less year on a Duke site that Catholics at 23-25% of undergrads are single largest group believe Jewish enrollment 7-8 % mainline Protestants were <30%. Duke was founded by Methodists and Duke Divinity graduates a lot of Methodist ministers. Also a couple of Methodist leaders(Bishops?) are on the Duke Board of Trustees. The Gothic Duke Chapel is the focal point of the west campus. Amazing architectural building.

I went to Duke school and my husband then boyfriend was a Divinity student. Even though half my friends were from the Div School, attending Duke was not a religious experience.... at all. Not even a little bit. Hillel is active as are many student organizations, like any other university.
