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.

I would be fine with this if it wasn't forced, and they didn't make it a prayer specifically to Jesus you know you can tell them you cannot do that i can refuse to pray because i do not believe in prayer.

Depending on your personality, the last thing one might want to do in high school (in Texas no less) is to profess atheism. This is one of the many reasons why mandatory prayer in school is a bad idea. Singling out people who may not want to participate is a byproduct.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Not even my school is THAT bad...
You should definitely contact the ACLU or any other organization of its kind ASAP. There is so much wrong in that, and it must have caused uncomfortable feelings to those who choose not to participate in the cult of christianity.
