They take the Bible literally and yes, are openly against homosexuality, are very pro-life, prohibit alcohol on school property, prohibit members of the opposite gender inside the dorms, and espouse the other characteristics of evangelical Christianity. Some non-religious folks and many left sided politicians have a problem with this. For this reason many folks shy away from it, as they are convinced a degree from a Christian school will be a red flag if they try to get a job in academia or government. They are afraid of being automatically labeled as homophobic, or pro-life, or otherwise intolerant themselves... YMMV
I am very liberal and not Christian at all yet I have 2 master's degrees from a Christian university. Many colleges have a religious affiliation but that doesn't mean religion is in your face like it is at Liberty. Religion is in every course at Liberty. Religion was not in any of my courses at Amberton. When I attended Charleston Southern University religion was in every class and it had nothing to do with the course. I left after 1 term because I wanted to learn about business not religion.
With all due respect, please do not paint this with a broad stroke. " Religion is in every course at Liberty." I will try be exact as I can. Yes, it is part of the multiple choice test you have to take to get into the course (asking about Champions for Christ). The multiple-choice test are five questions. Yes, in some classes it is a small part (American Christian Heritage), but it was not in my Comps courses (911, 912, 913 and 914). It was not in my Dissertation courses. It was not in my Slavery and the Western World Course with Dr. Joe Super. So, please do not paint the picture that is the way with each department. As I stated before, religion was not forced down my throat. Look, for the OP, it is his decision to make. For you, ss20ts, you are not a fan of LU. To each their own. YMMV!!!!!!!~
