I have several friends and family members, all active LDS, who have done BYU Pathway, and they all say the same thing: "Wow, is it churchy!"

That first semester especially. These people are all very familiar with the various iterations of CES, from early-morning and release-time seminary to the BYU religion curriculum and Institute. So on the one hand they had an idea what they were getting into and even welcomed it somewhat. But none of them expected it to be as heavy-handed as it was.

If the religious content feels that overbearing for active, committed Mormons, I don't know that I could in good conscience recommend this route to non-Mormons.

Interesting; thanks. I guess one has to decide for oneself whether it is worth it, and good. :)
