On my resume, I list all of the colleges I attended as an undergraduate
(there were 4). The first of these was a religious "university" (they
barely qualified for that level). The day I was packing the U-Haul to
relocate for my first tech writing job, I received a call from a manager who
actively seeks applicants of that particular religious background and
actually told me as much.
