This is a complex topic, as alluded by others here as well. My dad's employer sent him to take an economics course at Hillsdale in the 1980s. I attended college at a Christian liberal arts school around the same time. Reaganomics and the Moral Majority were in their ascendance. As a freshman, I took Econ 101, and it was taught from what the professor called a "Christian economics" perspective, which was essentially Reaganomics. We even learned the Laffer Curve. I learned a pro tip, which is that professors with a strong ideological bias tend to be easy graders, because they want to be liked. The course was fluff.
"Fundamentalism" was getting a lot of buzz during that time, and I remember my fellow freshmen debating whether their sect was "fundamentalist" or not. On the other hand, the biology department taught straight-up evolution with no religious disclaimers, and no objections from the college administration. If there were any objections, it was from a handful of students.
What it suggests to me is that the actual character of an officially Christian college can defy expectations, conflict with the technicalities of official doctrine, and change over time. My own rule, which I think is fair to everybody, is to avoid speculating about anybody's religious beliefs unless they actually say what they are, and then, it's whatever they want.
