My Intro to Religion class was 90% discussion. We had to take notes, but he'd ask us our opinions on everything. There were some class sessions where it was just debate and theorizing, like the Big Debate of Whether The Bible Should Be Taken Literally that completely exploded because people who take the Bible literally are notoriously stubborn and no matter what we tried to say, they tended to counter with "I know I'm right! I have faith!"
Oxymoronic, considering that "knowledge" and "faith" are mutually exclusive concepts and one cannot have knowledge of something and faith in that same something.
(Which was another explosive debate that happened a few classes earlier than the Literalism debate).
Religion classes can be dangerous to choose, though. Sometimes you get professors with far too much bias for the class to be any entertaining or informative, sometimes you get professors who don't want to insult anyone so they just take a neutral stance on everything and that ends up getting really boring, really fast.

I read that article. Cracked: Educating The Masses With Humor Since 1958.
