I have no idea why an atheist would object, to be honest.
As an Atheist, I can see no reason not to have such a course. One of the problems that I see with the world today is lack of knowledge of other views. Hitting what is real and why a particular group believes in whatever can only strengthen their own beliefs & ideals. If one objects to bringing out the views of others, then they must not have much faith in their own beliefs.
