[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve read that Muhlenberg is an evangelical Lutheran school. Is that true, and if so, in what way does religion impact the college experience? My agnostic kid is considering MC but the evangelical bent is a real turn off.[/quote]u

I would call it “Lutheran” (have never heard the “evangelical” used and grew up with lots of Lutherans and near M’berg). Roughly equivalent to a school being Presbyterian. (Please don’t nitpick me theologically). It’s mainline Protestant-religious, which is to say, not very.[/quote]

It’s very light on Christian religion. No theology course requirements, diverse student body including many Jewish students, and a multifaith center for those who wish to engage. But it’s certainly not a predominant feature of the school. They’re also really welcoming of LGBTQ+ students and offer gender inclusive housing.

Yes, "evangelical Lutheran" is a type of Lutheranism. It's quite liberal, and doesn't even remotely resemble evangelical Christian megachurches.
