@Mini: I say that studying Religion is unimportant because it is unimportant, unless the job you want is specifically related to Religion.

When you go get a job, employers won't care about how much you know about X religion. They only care that you got the skills and knowledge required for the job, and among about 90+% of all jobs, Religion is not among them.

It's got nothing to do with my views on Religion. I don't care much about Religion, personally, but I simply am aware that society these days does not desire or looks for Religious knowledge like before. It instead wants more subjects that will really help Society, like Math, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, among others.

"Remembering facts and information combined with the analysis and debating skill needed to pass a subject I imagine is difficult regardless of the topic"? Maybe, maybe not, but that's not exclusive to Religion, and in fact analyzing and debating skills are normally put to the test more in other subjects.
