Most Rel. Colleges Don't Recognize Atheist Clubs; Secular Student Alliance Has 320 College Chapters

While making more accommodations for religious minorities at their facilities, most Christian colleges draw the line at atheism, the Christian Post website reports today (November 7, 2011).

Earlier this year, Notre Dame University (NDU) -- which has a Muslim Student Association and a Jewish Club -- rejected an application to create a Secular Student Alliance chapter.

Dennis Brown -- assistant vice president of Public Information and Communications for NDU -- said the university policy is that a student organization's goals must not contradict the mission of the university or the Roman Catholic teaching.

The Secular Student Alliance -- which was founded in May of 2000 -- has around 320 college chapters in the United States.
