I went to a catholic school (in a place where public ones are readily available, but my parents thought the education there was better), and while they did talk religion, except for the religion class (which i'd have had in public school as well) I don't think it was very faith oriented. Notably they had evolution, big bang, sex ed and so on.
I think anglosaxon world religious schools are much different, and I have the impression that people in USA collate creationism and catholicity, while it's a strongly held belief in their country, across all faiths.
I'm an atheist now, so I don't think the indoctrination was so good.
- Turing_Machine 3y ago> I have the impression that people in USA collate creationism and catholicity I've noticed this as well. It's kinda weird, since the Catholic Church has officially held that it has no conflict with respect to evolution for around 75 years now (they basically take no position on the subject), and some of their scholars were pro-evolution for many years before that. Nowadays, it's generally just fundamentalist Protestant churches which insist on literal creationism. > while it's a strongly held belief in their country, across all faiths. It's actually a minority belief in the United States, although a substantial minority. https://news.gallup.com/poll/261680/americans-believe-creationism.aspx https://news.gallup.com/poll/261680/americans-believe-creati...
