America's Most And Least Religious Colleges

Some students go to college in order to discover themselves. Others may be more interested in finding God. Or maybe both!

The Princeton Review has released its annual college rankings list for 2014-15. Among other things, they ranked the college with the most and least religious students.

A 2013 study from researchers at Trinity College in Connecticut revealed that about one third of America's college students, 32%, considered themselves to be "true believers." 32% defined themselves as spiritual but not religious while 28% called themselves secular.

See which colleges have the most and least religious students here.

Strange because Portland has an extraordinary number of churches.

Lots of Pagans as well.
