No, but we do need to recognize it isn't just believers who have made the program what it is.
It is also one of the top programs in anthropology in the US, and only it and Berserkley have a high level humanities program. Both are related to the Divinity School in terms of the cross-disciplinary studies from a social science and humanities perspective, some of the work that comes out of the institution is pretty cool.
For instance, they have History of Religions and Anthropology and Sociology of Religion programs there, for instance--and the profs aren't studying theology, nor are they theologians, ministers, etc.
