"An engineering degree might be useful in only certain, secular areas. However, there is no religious limitation as to whom an engineer can be helpful to."

Ah, I see. So you are saying that a Catholic or atheist can never go to a Lutheran minister and request assistance? They cannot choose to attend services at a Lutheran church?

Just another smokescreen, trying to cover up anti-religious bias.

Sure they can. However, the Lutheran minister got his education to be part of the Lutheran church, which is clearly a religious organization. Any assistance he gave a Catholic or atheist would either be religious (such as trying to convert them) or completely unrelated to his Lutheran ministry (say, if a Catholic friend of his came to him for advice).
