Replying to University religion course advice?

Has anyone taken courses in religious studies at university? I'm looking at a class that would fit nicely into my schedule. Literally every other course that interests me as an elective is full or creates scheduling conflicts. Another problem is that it's in French (apparently the prof is good though). It's a historical introduction to world religions, so nothing too gnarly and potentially very interesting.

So for those speaking from experience...as someone who is not religious and is considering this purely as an interesting/easy elective will I want to blow my head off?
