This reminds me of when I was in high school and was asked to write a short paper based on the question, "If you could remove anything from the world that would improve it immensely, what would it be? Why?" Most people wrote about greed and money.
I wrote a paper about removing religion citing that more people have died fighting under religious pretenses than any other. It was quite well written, detailing events from the 10th century BCE to modern day - complete with some guesses at how it would have affected the human condition (good and bad).
English teachers seem to always grade subjectively. No mistakes were pointed out, no faulty reasoning, use of poor grammar, etc. Nope, it was marked C- and written in big red letters "Blasphemy!"
