I dont expect you to become Hirsi Ali overnight, you finally came out for the first time, however I'm not sure how you expect things to change if you are not willing to discuss your beliefs in front of everyone. That is exactly what should happen or at least what should be allowed to happen. I am reading a book at the moment called 40 days and 40 nights, its the documentation of an American courtcase regarding teaching evolution at schools. You got to understand that people like you had to make a stand for science or their kids would end up being taught the same bullshit. Is your teacher not asking you if you could perhaps help teach these other students some other perspectives? The (Age of) Enlightenment only happened because people stood up for their beliefs and shared them to the world, especially in universities.
