Yeah, don't say your major is something it isn't. That would make you sound like an idiot. It's called what it's called.
Theoretically, you can be a religion major and be an atheist.

Yes, I was only going with theology as I've not heard of a Bachelors in Religion. If it's Religious Studies or something similar, or whatever it is actually called use that.

You can major in religion at many schools. The degree will probably be a bachelor of arts, as it's considered part of the humanities.

Well yeah a BA in religion is what I meant. I guess I've only ever seen 'religious studies' or theology but then my selection of schools has probably been biased on those lines.

It certainly one of those things different schools call different things. I've seen "religion," "religious studies," "religion and culture," "comparative religion" and others. In the schools I'm familiar with, theology would be a different, more specialized course of study, as theology usually implies a Judeo-Christian focus, whereas the more general "religion"-related terms do not.
Bottom line: The OP should refer to her major however her school refers to it.
