Although Harvard University was established in 1636 to train men to be literate and well-educated Protestant clergymen, the new chief chaplain at the school is Greg Epstein, a dedicated atheist.

Epstein, who was raised in a Reformed Jewish household, is an ordained Humanist Rabbi. He also holds a B.A. in religion and an M.A. in Judaic studies from the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, and a Masters of Theological Studies degree from the Harvard Divinity School.
