Summary: The article explores the role of religion in university life and professors. The author further explores the question of whether religion affects historians and concludes that "belief or non-belief" does make a difference. Religion does take a part in how historians relay events, not even purposefully, but just naturally. Tracy studies historians' objectivity and how reliable they can therefore be considered.
