If that happened to me, this is what I would do:
I would write to our biggest newspapers in the community and force a debate to take place over the insanity of "teaching" religion this way. I would contact the head master, secular organizations, anyone who can back you up, and fight to get a decent and sensible education, that doesn't take your (lack of) beliefs into consideration. I don't know about your laws, but that is discrimination, and it just shouldn't happen. Your grades should be based on your scholarly prowess, not on how much you pray and believe. I would still study the subject, it can never hurt to get a little "intel" about your enemy.
Now, I have the luxury to have grown up in a quite secular (though not nearly enough, in my opinion) society, so this method could work. But somehow I'm guessing that the authorities in your community might be religious idiots themselves, not willing to listen to what you have to say. Hang in there dude, and if you need to vent, we will be here and listen. May the odds be in your favour.

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
