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.
