This is good news.In the top three.I'm not religous,but i think the country desperately needs more schools where kids(and adults)can get a college education w/out the pc'ness(leftist indoctrination)of the looney left.
I don't think it's religion so much as a matter of spirituality.
I have a set of McGuffy's Eclectic Readers first published in 1879.
Most of the lessons pertain to values like perseverance and charity.
In the Fourth Reader (page 126), there is a chapter called The Creator.
It ends:
This great Being is God. He made all things, but He is more excellent than all that He has made. He is the Creator, they are his creatures. They may be beautiful, but He is Beauty. They may be strong, but He is Strength. They may be perfect, but He is Perfection.
This tenant wasn't only taught to children because it was Christian, or because it was the 'right' thing to do, but because it is LAW. 'That which you create, you have the right to control' is an old legal adage. The People are inherently superior to the government because WE created IT. We were supposed to control ourselves because restraint is a virtue. It's also why 'People' is capitalized in the preamble to the Constitution as well as the Declaration of Independence.
We hold these rules to be self-evident. Men are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights
Sound familiar?

As long as government can get away with morphing 'establishment of religion' into 'separation of church and State' and refuses to acknowledge God and our Christian heritage, the only power it DOES have to acknowledge is whatever it decides it wants.

Please don't think any of this means you have to be Christian. It just means the law can punish you for violating Commandments 6 to 10. Like the Founders, I believe a persons religion is a matter of personal choice.
The bosom of America is open to receive not only the Opulent and respectable Stranger, but the oppressed and persecuted of all Nations and Religions; whom we shall welcome to a participation of all our rights and privileges, if by decency and propriety of conduct they appear to merit the enjoyment.
George Washington, Address to the Members of the Volunteer Association of Ireland, December 2, 1783

But it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
Thomas Jefferson, Notes on the State of Virginia, Query 17, 1782
As you have probably seen, I goofed on the title. It's fixed now. The college was highlighted along with the other two.
I wish that there were many places where young people could get a solid education without the influence of the looney left. I think those places should be available even to people who don't want all of the rules that come from the Christian association of colleges such as this one. I think it's great that LU is available to those who want that experience, but I think there should be other ways to get a non-leftist education.
