I went to the best magnet high school in Chicago -- the city, not any
suburbs. I was part of the best academic circle, the most highly
educated. There was no such pressure. And your statement had the
slightest semblance of truth, why would so much of the country still be
Christian?

For that matter, Caltech is probably as materialist a university as
exists in the country, and I wouldn't say without doubt that even half
of the undergrad population is not religious.
