Lets say psychology is required for a divinity degree. Following this logic, anyone taking a class in psychology would be denied funding because becoming a Lutheran minister requires a divinity degree, which requires psychology classes.

A psychology degree and psychology courses can be used for many things, one of which may be religion. A Divinity degree is only intended for one thing: active practice as a clergyman for a specific denomination. The fact that part of the requirement of a Divinity degree might consist of non-religious classes does not change the end result of such a degree.

What degree do instructors at divinity school have? Are they all ordained ministers? I'm not trying to be adversarial, I just find it odd that any university degree has one, and only one, possible use/outcome. There are plenty of people with engineering degrees who aren't engineers. I don't work in the field in which my degree is. Is a divinity degree really that specific?
