Help me. Atheist in religious school.... SUX i know?

I have a number of atheist friends who are religion professors. They study religion like a biologist studies a cellular membrane. They are in fact social anthropologists more than anything else. I suggest approaching your religious studies in the same way as it is culturally an important topic, and understanding the religious impulse and delusion will help you understand humanity in a fuller context. Knowledge, even knowledge about superstition, is almost always usefule sooner or later. Don't debate at this point. Simply acquire information, yze it critically, formulate your responses and save it for later when you control your own destiny.
