Religion and your major
I found this interesting article which says that your major in college has an impact on your religious view and attendance. (http://www.churchleaders.com/pastors/pastor-articles/145652-do-certain-college-majors-shape-religiosity.html). To sum it up, education majors experience the greatest increase in religious influence while science majors experience the greatest decrease. The science majors make since but, I don't understand education. Maybe they need to learn how to pray when handling difficult children. The article mentions that business majors attendance increases. Obviously mine hasn't. But, my teachers have been bringing in speakers that talk about the importance of the bible and business ethics. It makes me think there's some secret I'm missing out on. I think church is something that could be very important to someone's college life as a support network. I can also see it as something that gets neglected due to time constraints. I think that religion is something that can be explored and evolved like the rest of college life. However, I think the baptist label Baylor and the size of Waco limit my exploration. I may be a Buddhist but then I'd have to go to Killeen.
