Seconded. By and large you will find more theists in philosophy than you will in RLST. This is anecdotal, but you'll also likely find fewer theistic students in RLST as well, since theists who want to study religion are much more likely to go into theology. I had a number of classmates as an undergrad who made the mistake of taking RLST courses thinking they would be theology and ended up getting really really upset when professors started making claims like "Christian worship is essentially folk magic."
