It makes me sad that you had a bad experience in a Philosophy class at college. I'm sort of surprised that you got jumped on for saying that you're athiest, and that the professor didn't step in and use that to facilitate discussion, or at least steer the class back on-topic. I was a philo major mostly because I really loved the professors in that department and those classes were always so intellectually stimulating for me. However, since most of our mutual friends (some of whom share your beliefs) were in my classes, and I know we didn't have philosophy together, I guess it isn't to surprising for the women in your class to react that way. Most of the fun people were in my class, I guess.

Then again, my FY philo class was a tandem and the English professor made no bones about her belief that the Bible was a (somewhat ridiculous) work of fiction. It's harder to attack a student for atheism when the professor has more or less said that anyone who ISN'T atheist might be a little slow.
