A few years ago, I emailed President Brodie of Johns Hopkins University (JHU). At JHU, I graduated from the Whiting School of Electrical Engineering. My interest was about the use of the word 'nonsectarian' because JHU is advertised as a 'nonsectarian university.' This advertisement means that God is not taught at JHU.
Then, I opened the discussion of the words 'theory' and 'practice' and their relation. I said that these two words are used by medical doctors. Some doctors develop new medical theories whereas other doctors practice medical theories. I was told that theology, which means the study of God, is not taught at JHU because JHU is a nonsectarian university.
I pointed out to President Brodie that 'nonsctarian colleges and universiies' can study theories of God without interfering religions because the study of theories about God does not mean that a religion is being practiced. The President recognized my point.
