Although only about 1/3 of the students identified as Christian when asked an open-ended question about their religious affiliation, around half of those qualified "Christian" with a modifier such as "strong" or "committed." They recognized both the "none" culture of the PNW (at least urban/west of the mountains PNW) and the fact that they stood out, especially on the UW campus. This is one of the reasons that Driscoll has so much success where he does. People like to feel they are taking a stand against something--in this case, secular Seattle culture.<br /><br />Enjoy the Northwest!
