Years ago, when I returned to college after an enlistment in the USAF,

[The Genealogist]

6. I was a Religious Studies major in college

Well it was a double major with Near Eastern Antiquities. I also hold an MA in Religious Studies, and I made it through most of a PhD in the field. Funny field of study for an atheist, I know, but thus is is. I never once had an experience like yours. I'd have done the same. Knowing the faculties under whom I studied, this guy would have been out of there ASAP. The fact is, both schools i went to were very careful, lest someone report a proselytizing instructor and the departments get the ax.
