[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Full disclosure: I was raised Catholic, but left the church after college and never had my kids baptized nor did we practice any religion.

My daughter is now a high school senior and has three Catholic colleges/universities on her college list. She is not religious and does not particularly believe in a god or any type of higher power as far as I know.

She has never even attended  Catholic mass and of course she has never been involved in anything like CCD or catholic school, catholic catechism.

She is very socially liberal (pro choice, LGBTQ+ ally etc).  I truly do not think a Catholic college would be a good choice for her, but I am unable to explain to her why. She doesn't believe me, basically.  She has heard that the colleges on her list are "very liberal". I'm sure they are -- for Catholics. But, they are still Catholic schools!

Do atheists or non believers attend Catholic colleges?  [/quote]

Religious college will not be on DD's list. In light of recent legal developments, and a general "women as second class citizen" status in most Christian sects, that's not happening. I want my child to be supported, have access to all health care options (including birth control if desired), and be treated as equal on all levels. I will also not give my money to support these institutions.

Kudos to you if that is for you and your family. It is not for ours. (And not up for discussion with anyone on here). [/quote]
