However, if I were to apply to work at BYU, I would have to be

qualify. Note that, despite my agnosticism, I've maintained the
values I was raised with. Other than paying tithing and belief in the
Godhead, I fully qualify for a temple recommend.
I'm surprised to read the many heated posts in this thread that are all
based on a single FAQ entry, the validity of which seems questionable to
me. Do you really think that BYU requires its non-LDS employees to
affirm LDS church leaders as divinely appointed? Or to pay tithing to a
religion to which they do not belong? I sure don't.
I'm curious, though--what about ones like Daniel who are technically LDS,
or someone who happened to be baptized Mormon but raised in a different
faith? Would BYU allow them to apply as a non-LDS employee?
