This Fox News list of "America's Top Christian Colleges and Universities" is fascinating for many reasons, but maybe especially for the fact that it erases Catholicism from Christianity. i.e., schools like Georgetown and Notre Dame aren't mentioned at all.

The founded-by-Christians Ivy League schools are also missing, but that's less surprising, given that they've dropped their religious affiliations over time. Catholic universities, by contrast, still require students to take theology classes. And yet, they aren't included here.

The comments and QTs here make me wonder how many US Catholics are aware that a lot of conservative Protestants/Evangelicals don't see them as Christian. And it makes me wonder if knowing that might make Catholics less willing to align themselves with Evangelicals politically.

The funny thing is, it's not just a US thing either. When I was on my Mormon mission in Brazil in the early 2010s, when we asked people if they were Catholic (our default assumption), many people would respond with, "no I'm Christian."
