Atheists, were you ever ridiculed in your philosophy class?

Okay, first off I want to say I'm not mocking atheists at all. I just have a genuine question for you:Given that most of you on this site seem to rely heavily on logic and reason to determine what you believe is true, what experience have you had in college-level philosophy classes? I don't mean classes like History of Philosophy, Logic, or Utilitarianism...I mean more contemporary classes such as Postmodernism, Deconstructionism, etc. Philosophy today seems to reject Modernism's reliance on rationality, so I'm just wondering how you faired in such Postmodern classes. Thanks!

Never took a philosophy class after freshman year, but I'm pretty sure I would have been lousy at it.The postmodernists' influence on other disciplines has been lamentable, from what I've seen. It seems to have led to sloppy constructs and a subsequent failure to explain any subject adequately.

I didn't take [philosophy, I took world religion instead to satisfy that requirement. No, I was not ridiculed.
