Wow. What are you doing at a Christian school, Searchingforanswers? It's going to be so hard for people to see eye to eye with you when it comes to faith. The idea of someone NOT believing is hard to stomach when you're in the presence of so many believers and you're discussing your journey with the Lord, they're literally going to attack you day and night. I'm sorry. If I was agnostic I would tell the students this: "Every person has to make their own decision about whether or not there's a God. When you pressure me for answers, it makes me not want to believe what you believe, because then...I'd be like you. If you want to be good Christians, let me make my own choices about what I believe."
If I was agnostic I would tell the teacher, "I have to find my own way. Right now I'm not interested in God, I'm just trying to get my education. I believe in free will, so please let me decide about religious issues for myself. Thank you."
It's best to be polite, actually being polite really makes Christians think. I'm a Christian and I've had people tell me in a really kind way to back off, and I honored them, just like I want to honor you. It's not my job to beat Christianity into you or force you to recite anything, but it is my job to treat people how I want to be treated. And if I was agnostic, I'd want people to leave me alone and be respectful. Really you shouldn't have to know ANY facts to get Christians to leave you alone, I'm so sorry about them! They're desperate because they believe that Hell is a real place and the idea of someone being separated from God's love for eternity, is extremely painful, just thinking of it makes me so sad, so I know where they're coming from. Then again, for someone who doesn't believe, there's nothing to fear.
I hope this has helped you. If you need any help with your Christian courses let me know, I'd love to help, I graduated from a Christian school and I study a lot in my spare time. Good luck.
