I remember a required English course at Penn State circa 1970 that included two readings concerning religious themes: an anti-religious book by Voltaire in which the author mocked religious belief that all things work together for good for those who love God, and a reading and analysis of the book of Job.

I'd imagine that such a balance is absent today, in that religious books would be ignored in the curriculum.

I believe you're thinking of Candide. I read that in 10th grade. It's a good book, as far as books go.
