There has been an influx at divinity schools of students who are secular.

Correspondent Dan Lothian goes to Yale and Harvard Divinity Schools where a number of students are studying theology with no intention of becoming academics or ever being ordained as clergy. He talks to students and also to Miroslav Volf, prominent theologian and head of Yale’s Center for Faith and Culture, who says, “We welcome atheists, we welcome theists, we welcome religious people."
