Yes :D, in germany if you do not take a religion course (catholicism or evangelism), you have to take a philosophy class.

One of the best classes I ever had. We had a speakers list that even the teacher had to honor if she wanted to take part in the discussion and we did really interesting stuff like analyzing "Das Fest der Völker" (Olympia 1936 Docu) for subliminal brain washing.

On that note Philosophy in colleague was very, very dissappointing.
