Of course, thats four, compared to the myriad state and private secular schools on that list. None of the Ivys, iirc. Though, to be fair, I haven't checked.
True, but those four are very,
very prestigious universities. I'm sure I could identify many other schools affiliated with religions that are highly ranked but honestly, if you have the brains and the academic record you can get in anywhere even with a disciplinary record from high school. And of course, depending on your religion, attending a university affiliated with your religion may carry far more weight than a degree from an Ivy League school, not that they are the be-all, end-all of education anyways.
Truth be told, after your first job out of college nobody cares where you went to school or what your GPA was, or anything else related to your time there.
Again, agree. But the average student, being average, will likely not be able to do so.
Agree that it matters a great deal on what you want out of a collegiate experience. Thus my assertion that correlation isn't causation.
Disagree that your school does not matter after the first job, having seen the protective associations inherent to many quality institutions. In the right field, it makes you.
Also, I looked at Johns Hopkins and didn't see a religious affiliation listed. Am I missing something?

Um yes they are. A lot of homeschoolers are far right, very religious, havens for abuse or all of them. I unfortunately know quite a bit about them
This has been my experience, for all that it is anecdotal.
