I'll throw my hat in the ring again and say that catholic schools shouldn't even exist.
I mean, it's good to hear that people stop believing when they go to those hellholes, but it's scary to know there are schools that are exclusively teaching religion. It's bad enough that schools in this country teach you to obey and never question, but mix that with obey and never question god and you have a recipe for absolute disaster. It also really hinders progress in things that truly matter and will actually benefit humanity, such as about 80 thousand things. Even taking a shit in a dumpster.
EDIT:
Yes I have experience those things when I was 9 at public school we were taught scripture and they attempted to scare us about hell and Satan and whatnot I was scared for little while it traumatised me when I was young.
And it disgusts me when I bring this kind of stuff up in debates and someone says something like "Oh, well, not all christians are like that". But that doesn't remove the fact that the core of that religion is literally 'If you do not believe in god and obey him, you will go to a realm full of fire and misery and suffer for all eternity'. Like, really? That is terrorism right there. And that crap is taught to children of all ages. You've got 3 year old and shit in sunday schools being told this. Are you DUCKING kidding me?
