Too right. It seems that if Brown was a religious school, it would be mentioned in their admission policies, or their mission statement or...something. As far as I can tell, it isn't.
And, for what it's worth, I attended two avowedly religious universities (Queens and Trinity) and obtained perfectly secular education at each one.
