There is not one aspect of any religion espoused by the faculty, administration, or any official aspect of the university.
Contrast that with Baylor, which does not have any religious word in its name, yet is crazy tied to the Southern Baptist in all aspects.
Anyway, it just seems like a broad brush to automatically eliminate schools with religion in the title. While some are quite tied to a demonations beliefs, others are more historically tied and now have VERY loose associations. And any employer who discounts a SMU or TCU student solely based on the demonation in the title is full of fail.
