The name of the university literally alludes to Christianity.

True, but the name of the school predates the curriculum in question by more than a century; the school has for many years been in no way associated with any religion.
(Likewise, at its founding in 1696, the college was called King William’s School; a name that probably sounded a bit off in post-Revolutionary America, leading to the adoption of the current name in 1784, a year after the War.)
