I went to a catholic school but I don't believe it made any difference. There were masses held in the school hall, which you had the choice to attend or not, you had the choice to be confirmed or not, religious education wasn't about trying to make you believe the bible but studying varying different religions/cultures and how they've developed over the years, how the religious groups split etc.

A valid cultural education for anyone whether you're a believer or atheist.

They do over here
