Religion in College

The Religion News Service has produced a story on the most and least religious colleges , taken from the Princeton Review . Brigham Young was first, Sarah Lawrence last.

We are producing our own analysis of the religious life and commitments of the top American universities and colleges, which will be the source for information and insight on the subject. We’re drawing on information from surveys of current and recent students, interviews with chaplains, pastors, parachurch campus ministers, and teh like, interviews with Christian and Jewish academics,  and data on the academic life, including the religious courses the colleges offer.

One of our sources of information is the survey on our website . Please forward the link to any college students or recent graduates you know and urge them to fill it out. First Things readers and their children (some of whom are also readers, of course) are one of the best sources of information and insight we have. Many thanks for your help.

Dear Reader,

Can I be direct with you?

War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.

First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.

But we can’t do it without readers like you.

Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
