Can a college professor require a student to renounce her faith?

The professor has stated that it is his job to get students to reject a belief in a sacred or unquestionable “truth” in favor of the “rational” view that science, logic, and philosophy are the only reliable sources of “truth.” http://www.aclj.org/TrialNotebook/Read.aspx?id=615JPEngery - you missed the point. The prof is saying that you would have to become a Nazi to understand Naziism or become a Commie to understand Communism. He wants students to become atheists to understand atheism.
