Religion in schools

I will start by saying that in my country, untill a couple of years back,religious theachings were mandatory for all classes with the only option to choose the religion that you're partaking in.
This changed somewhere around late 2009-early 2010 when the "Secular and Humanitarian Organization" forwarded a law project to make it an optional class.
Even if is not mandatory anymore there still is no class to replace it so those who attend religion classes will have more grades than those that choose not to.
This was also my case,as I am a 17 years old atheist who still attends those classes because of the grades.
Many parents organizations proposed the replacecemt of it with something else to keep the balance but no school has done anything so far as this is a highly Christian influenced country.
