There is almost no chance you've got that right.
Even if you did.... 71% of the country is Christian.
If there was less then 51% of christians in there they'd be MASSIVLY underrepresented.

I'm Christian, but I have no problems with somebody if they are Atheist. It's their choice.

I don't think that would make much sense. I mean, if 71% of people are Christians, and assuming they are randomly spread and the desire to get into each school is randomly spread, 71% of applications would be from Christians and 29% from outside. Your reasoning means it would be MUCH easier for a non-christian to get in there. Which makes little sense, seeing as they have a right to reserve for christians. Besides, if 49% of people there were non-christians, I think the guy who studies there would know and wouldn't imply it works differently from the way you're supposing it does, don't you think?
Also, on Universities with "quotas", saying x% is reserved for y group means what I said earlier, so I think it's just natural for them to use the same terminology.

Except... your ignoring the fact that there very well may be quotas for other religions too.
Also, that you have no actual proof of said quotas.

Also, I imagine there are a lot more atheists in Cleveland tonight.
Or maybe a lot more people who believe in a Sports god who just hates Cleveland... cause the law of averages has to break sometime.

This has been known for at least six months I can't remember who puplished the findings, but the unreligous are certainly rising here. I am definantly among them.

I'm not sure I get what you mean by the bolded part, but I never said I had actual proof for anything anyway. And you don't have either :P
I was just talking about quotas to illustrate how it works in other circunstances.
And even if they actually had a "non-christian quota", 49% would be just ridiculous on a 29% non-christian place. Moreover, when you have quotas, you have a reserved percentage only a given group can apply to, but said group also runs for the "universal" part of the applications, so they can actually go over their "49%" but never (unless there's simply not enough of them, which is hard when there's any considerable competition) less than those "49%".
But a non-christian quota makes little sense unless non-christians there actually have much lower living standards for some reason.
Anwyay, I really think he'd know if half his classmates were not christians.

No disrespect man, but if that's the kind of grammar they teach you at that school, maybe you should change schools.
