By saying you were agnostic you effectively told them that you need more attention to keep you faithful.
If you can't get out of going to church then treat it like an intellectual exercise.
Try to find the fundamental flaw in what you are being taught and phrase it as concisely as possible in the most difficult question to answer.
The more calm and measured you are, the more you stick to facts or point out the logical inconsistency of what you are being taught, the more they will leave you alove. The better you get at this the more calm and relaxed you will be. If you rant then they will write off anything you say as as a rebellion or a phase. If they can't answer you then the fault is with them and that will make it uncomfortable for them. This means that they will try to avoid such situations again in the future.
It's a valuable skill to learn, especially when you get into the work place.
