Strange term "agnostic university" since the word comes from the Greek language, "a" meaning without and "gnosis" meaning knowledge. Therefore you are asking for an institution of learning without knowledge.

a million. Athiests and Agnostics use Public faculties, like some Christians do. 2. They use hospitals too, and that i'm confident have outfitted some. 3. Feeding the poor has no longer some thing to do with faith, yet quite your own moral or own determination. 4. Athiests don't think in any God, Agnostics do not fairly comprehend what, if some thing they suspect in. 5. ok, you're specially actual about this one. 6. similar 7. no longer inevitably, and Christians can say nasty severe issues besides. 8. some might want to love themselves, yet what's incorrect with self self assurance? would not God want you to love your self too? 9. Athiests do not fairly believe in any God, and Agnostics do only not comprehend. 10. Christians could also tear human beings down... as displayed by using this question.

Yale wasn't started for agnostic or atheist beliefs, but it was not founded for Christian beliefs, either. I'm referencing either the hospital or the university.
"The history of Yale-New Haven Hospital extends back to 1826 when the General Hospital Society of Connecticut was chartered as the first hospital in Connecticut and the fourth voluntary hospital in the nation."
"Yale traces its beginnings to "An Act for Liberty to Erect a Collegiate School" passed by the General Court of the Colony of Connecticut and dated October 9, 1701. Soon thereafter, a group of ten Congregationalist ministers led by James Pierpont, all of whom were Harvard alumni, met in Branford, Connecticut, to pool their books to form the school's first library. The group is now known as "The Founders."
Originally called the Collegiate School of Connecticut, the institution opened in the home of its first rector, Abraham Pierson, in Killingworth (now Clinton). In 1716, the college moved to New Haven, Connecticut, where it remains to this day."
So the original library was donated by a few ministers. Ministers at that point in time usually were the only people with books to spare.

Have you taken a religious studies course at any of the top notch schools in the country?
Or how about a class at Harvard's Seminary? I think most of the professors there are agnostics.
I'm aware that Harvard was started by Christians but where are they now? The Cubs were a great baseball team too. What one did many many years ago has very little to do with the present.

Your question is based on an incorrect assumption, which is that atheism and agnosticism are a belief or system of beliefs.
The simple definition of atheism is a lack of belief in a god or set of gods, and for agnosticism is neither the affirmation nor the denial of the existence of a god or set of gods.
Thus, for example, just as people who do not claim to believe in a god are atheists/agnostics, universities and hospitals who are not sponsored or support any religion are considered "secular".
Let those who believe believe and those who do not believe not believe. Don't feel attacked and do not attack others.
Peace. (Not in the name of any god, by the way).

Atheist Warren Buffett just gave over $30,000,000,000 (yes, billion) to charity, so you might be seeing something along these lines soon.
The question is: Would god fearing people accept help from avowed atheists?
