As a fellow 17 year old, and someone who spends half the day questioning religious beliefs, I believe that I may be able to understand somewhat where you are coming from. I go to a religious school by choice, but I believe very little (none) of what I learn as fact, and am one of several of my peers who insists on continually questioning things. Thankfully I have teachers who are willing to attempt to answer our questions. I have never had pressure from home to have a religious belief, and I think I can understand your issues of feeling forced into it by your parents. BUT, I have found that it is beneficial to learn these beliefs, even if you don't feel that they will follow you later into life or have any effect on you other than to annoy you.
As others have said before, knowledge of religious beliefs will help you in debates/arguments later in life, either preempting common debate points or providing evidence against others' points or supporting your own.
I also find it important (as somewhat of a side-point) to look at the Bible as either a novel or an allegorical work rather than a literal one. It helps in understanding/tolerating some of what it says.
Also be respectful of the beliefs of those around you, but do not be afraid to question them when you don't agree with or understand them.
As for your parents, while I know I would be very angry if my parents tried to force a set of beliefs on me, as long as this group is not cutting into sorely needed time, just try to tolerate it a little longer until they won't make you go anymore.
