Religion from the student center

[rug]

May 11, 2012

How does the average MIT student perceive religion? Last week, The Tech talked to students having lunch in W20, and asked them about their thoughts on religion at MIT. How is religion viewed on campus? How and why do people’s religious views get changed by MIT? Some found that their religious views deepened at college while others found that education made them question their previous beliefs. Ask a bunch of MIT students whether religion can be reconciled with science, and you are bound to get some interesting answers. Will you be surprised? For the full spectrum of views, see the interviews below.—Jingyun Fan
