In the country I'm in now religion is still taught in schools

That's one of the basis to survive in college. Of course some professors are rational and do not impose their views on others. WHen this happens just pretend you follow their ideology, yes it's hypocritical but if I didn't do that I'd probably have failed half my first year and about 3/4 of my second year in law school

See with regards to religion I just couldn't do it. I could not even pretend to believe in their sky god, not even for the grades.

I've never been to law school so I can't begin to understand where you're coming from but in terms of a high school religion course I know for a fact a 15 year old me would have exposed their hypocrisy and gotten an F. And I would (and to be honest still would) be proud of that F.

Which again is why I chose the public school with the terrible team. I'd rather be a nobody on a terrible team sticking to my principles than a star on a championship team that was a huge hypocrite. It was the choice I made and I stand by it to this day.
