What class did you take? Individual classes won't necessarily have that mandate, but when you start taking multiple classes on the nature of religions, new religious movements, etc. I expected the curriculum to challenge that which it studies. I think when a Religious Studies professor gets his/her doctorate they adopt something akin to Star Trek's Prime Directive of not interfering with the internal development of the religions in which they study.
