..No religion=(
So, I'm taking a class called sociology and we are currently studying religion. My teacher asked the class about all the religions and who believed what. He listed off all the religions like Buddist, Morman, Baptist, etc. The class was to raise their hand when their religion was named and he counted them. The thing is, I don't have a religion so when he was calling the religions out, I felt secluded and insignificant. I felt like I just didn't belong...

Dont worry about it. Within time you will probably find the path you are looking for.

I definitely know how that can feel. Here's a an informative site, that has a lot of stuff about Christianity on it.
http://www.religionfacts.com/christianity/beliefs.htm
Don't worry. You don't have to convert right away, although I'm sure the big guy up in the sky(God) would be very happy if you did..
Hope this helps. And good luck to you buddy.

Typically, in my university experiences, professors that did this sort of thing were attacking the concept of religion in some manner. Your lack of religion may have placed you in the professor's group. I could be wrong though, you did not elaborate on the professor's statement of motivation for the exercise.

You're not a mindless sheep, nor are you conforming to the dualistic social norm of religious labels, thereby limiting yourself into a category that neither fully explains your beliefs nor does justice to your individuality.
Congrats! Don't feel left out. Feel liberated.

Don't feel alone. You are way overdramatizing your situation. Many people neglect atheists or agnostics. Its nothign to be ashamed of. You should have raised your hand and stated that you are non-religious.
If you're really concerned, talk the the professor in private and tell him how you feel.
Don't listen to psychotic zealots like Alfiem or Thundar. You don't need a religion. If you want one, explore and find what best suits your needs. There are over a billion people in the world that idendify themselves as some form of non-religion. Thats not a minority at all.

ATTENTION!
"No one, I mean no one, in this conversation bring up the question of "Why the science teacher is asking for religions."
Alright?

So what? If you can identify as having a belief (even one that is not a religion) you aren't truly left out of that group unless you let yourself be.

*oh..no..no..no..tres contraire mon frere..God is not going to kill anyone..as it is written...
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
John 8:51 “Truly, truly, I say to you, if any one keeps my word, he will never see death.”
Matthew 10:39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
*sin is responsable for death..not god.....but even when one's sinful physiqe that is of this world perishes....a person will still live in Christ...
