Gosh- the most pretentious people I met in college came from philosophy, business, and the cultural identity programs (women's studies, black studies, american indian studies) I've no idea what their religions were, but I'd guess they were normally distributed religion wise. However on the pretentious-o-nometer they were off the scale. The philosophy students often seemed to think that by reading the core selections they had discovered the deep meaning of existence. The business majors often seemed to think that only their degrees made sense, and that they were doing "real" work while the rest of us were playing. (This despite the fact that business calculus was nowhere near as hard as regular calculus). And my experience with the students in the cultural identity schools was they thought they had discovered bias and discrimination, that very year! And now they were off on a mission to explain it to everyone else, whether or not the people they were explaining it to were more informed than they were. I've never met a pretentious atheist or agnostic. But then, definitions of pretentious, will differ.
