Even crosses were taken away a few years ago. What's your doubt about europe and europeans? Of course I can't talk for all europeans.
I know that its not mandatory and that atheist parents will obviously not allow it but Christians will and kids will just follow along .. Also it says that it counts for GPA the religion class that is.
Well if it's not a mandatory class it shouldn't count for GPA (I'm assuming GPA in america is the equivalent of your average grade results more or less), that's just benefiting religious people, mostly Christians (I don't know if they teach any other religion considering most americans are christians) in detriment of atheists, non religious people, agnostics and people with different religions. It sucks to be a minority sometimes.
