Hollowing out kids minds and filling it with crap is exactly what I was talking about. That is a lack of Education. That's exactly what religion does and all the institutions by which we live

yes. I was just extending your own point. But it's really not much about religion. It's about the extremist ideologies of the right. That's the stuff they are really stuffing. Religion and religious schools were just a handy device to help them do that. They were simply able to hijack the religious school archipelago and graft themselves onto it. A convenient implement for their schemes. Before that happened, those religious schools pretty much kept to themselves and minded their own business. In many cases, they were important contributors to broader humanitarian and progressive agenda.
When Hillsdale College started out as a small religious college, it was abolitionist and the first university to admit black students, the second in the country to graduate women. It had generals who fought for the Union army. After it was hijacked in the 70's it became one of the architects of the educational agenda of Project 2025, and now is a leading spearhead of the right-wing takeover of public education.
Religion is a good thing. Forcing anyone's religion on anyone else is a bad thing. Operating like (fill in the blank) religion is a basis for government is worse.
a good thing for adults, perhaps. Putting it in the defenseless minds of young children who cannot comprehend or decide for themselves is a form of child abuse. A recruiting tool used by organized religions to insure themselves of new members. Nothing more.

I wrote a little history of how that all happened, www.poems4change.org/essays/education-end-of-evolution.pdf
