What got me thinking about this was I was told someone on the

first day the class was assigned an 8 page report on the Book of Mormon due in one week or maybe it was two.

I can't see why someone who has passed an ecclesiastical endorsement and is now preparing for their future career needs to be writing a 7 page report on the Book of Mormon right out of the gate. 🙂

I don't know if they were hard, but my some of my worst grades at BYU were in my religion classes.

Depends on the teacher. Some are incredibly easy.

say an athlete needs to maintain a certain GPA. Does the religion grade count?

I can’t see why it wouldn’t. It’s treated as a normal class completely.

Depended on teacher. Some way harder. I recommend dropping class if hard.
