>> >>I thought temple university was a religious college? <<

Temple University was founded by a Yale educated Baptist minister(Russell Conwell) in the basement of a Baptist Temple. Conwell wanted to offer higher education to working class people so he tutored at night. Temple eventually grew into a large university with law and medical schools after WW II because of its easy access by public transportation and the GI bill. Unfortunately as with with most institutions it is now corrupted by Leftists and educrats.
