In May 2013, a story in the school's student newspaper, the "Campus Chronicle", reported on the school's non-religious population. It noted that although the student population "often identifies as religious," the official count that only 1.1% of students identify as non-theistic is probably understating the figure. The college is home to an active Secular Student Alliance "for atheists, agnostics, nontheists, humanists, skeptics, freethinkers and other non-religious students." The club states that "there is a large and growing non-theistic population on the campus" and that it aims "to represent this population of scholars at PUC while articulating our secularistic world-view and rejection of a higher power to the student body."
