It wasn't a required class, but it was available at my high school in the U.S. and I took it. It was never even hinted that there was something atheist about it. I took it again at the college level from the philosophy department. No hint it was an anti-religious class there either. And it isn't. It's more like math than anything else.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
