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.

As a religion professor, I’ve come to realize I have to emphasize that Catholics are Christians b/c so many students don’t know or accept that.

Their minds explode when you say that Abrahamic religions all worship the same god, and that "Allah" is in fact the same as the Christian God.

You could ask them how Arabic CHRISTIANS call God. Allah, of course.
