@Mini: They don't. They require no effort. Not just because they are nearly-always easy, but also because the grades acquired don't mean much.

Hell, in some schools, people are always given high grades in Religion even if undeserved, because it's literally that unimportant.

And you can fail it, and no one will care. After all, most employers will only care about your skills and practical knowledge (math, chemistry, physics...), not on how much you know about a religion. Religion is pretty much the educative version of Filler.
