I was listening to a R.C. Sproul tape recently and he mentioned a story about how he was invited to a certain college and he noticed that one academic deptartment name had been changed from the "Theology" department to the "Religion" department.

I think the shift is subtle but the focus is shifted from God to what we do as Christians. (anthropology) I tend to shy away from the term though I don't think it is wrong to use that term. I think when non-believers hear it they think of the things we do rather than who we serve. Just my 2 cents!
