In the US freedom of religion is a basic constitutional right, therefore, as our founding fathers intended it, it's protected anywhere and anytime.
However, in modern times, the over-applying of the so-called "separation of church & state" (this phrase does not occur anywhere in the constitution, by the way) has gotten so ridiculous as to actually deny people their religious rights in many places, most notably any government buildings, or places that get any government money (i.e. colleges).
Pretty ridiculous, given that in Washington DC, statements about God are chiseled into the original buildings all over town, all over founding father documents, etc.
It's obvious this is not what they had in mind.
What they had in mind was, that the federal government couldn't say "everyone has to be Catholic" or whatever, and that was the extent of it.

I believe you are protected against harrassment or persecution in regard to your religious beliefs as a basic human right. If you attend a private university that is religiously BASED (such as Southern Methodist University, for example) you may be obliged to follow their religious code of conduct while a student. They can not oblige you to convert or attend services, though.

Why would they be infringed? Are the liberal professors trying to prevent it?
