Nathalie Charles poses for a portrait outside the Princeton University Chapel Dec. 8 in Princeton, New Jersey. Charles left her Baptist church at the age of 15 because as a queer woman of Haitian descent, she felt unwelcome in her congregation, with its conservative views on immigration, gender and sexuality. The 18-year-old freshman at Princeton has since identified as atheist, and then agnostic, before embracing a spiritual but not religious life. (AP photo/Luis Andres Henao)
