According to a report by the New York Times, Greg Epstein, the man who heads Harvard’s University’s chaplain program, is in fact an atheist.

WND reports that Epstein, who has served as the school’s ‘humanist chaplain’ since 2005 and is author of ‘Good with out God,” was just recently appointed to head the university’s 30 chaplains that serve the spiritual needs of those attending the school.

WND adds that the school’s Latin motto, “Veritas Christo et Ecclesiae”, translated means: “Truth for Christ and the Church.”

According to a 2020 survey published by the school’s newspaper, The Harvard Crimson:

• 23.1% of Harvard students were agnostic,

• 17.3% were atheist.
• 16.9% protestant
