From what I remember, a lot of it is based on wealth - although it can carry over to simply being able to afford private schooling.

In any case, I'm of the opinion that we should teach scientific beliefs in schools, and religious beliefs in church. But that's me.
Haha, yes. That is it. Our educational system pumps out "obedient workers," for the most part. What the system does not do is pump out free thinkers.

And yes, I do agree that unbiased science and unbiased history should be taught in schools, and religion should be left to Church. Afterall, that is what Church is for, right?
