A school’s religious-ness has nothing to do with the success of the students.

You are declaiming to a wall, bubba. No ignorance is more frightening than when its apparently cloaked in education. You are dealing with a self indulgent, propagandized, pseudo-intellectual Leftist, and one who feels the rest of us are fools. Don’t waste your time. I stopped responding to his various little epistles when the true nature of his personality emerged. Besides, when it comes to God, I’ll defer to a far greater intellect than my own: Albert Einstein.
“Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind.” Albert Einstein
“We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.” Albert Einstein[/quote]
“A human being is a part of the whole, called by us, “Universe,” a part
limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and
feelings as something separated from the rest — a kind of optical delusion
of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting
us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to
us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our
circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of
nature in its beauty.Einstein

Arraya: My point regarding Catholic/Christian/parochial schools had nothing to do with religiosity. Quite the contrary. My point was that such schools deliver consistently excellent education and that RELIGIOSITY DOES NOT INTERVENE.
Brian’s assertion regarding “Kansans” and Christians is that both groups are ignorant rubes and unable to see beyond their narrow blinders.
My riposte was that the exact opposite is true and that Faith and Reason are both necessary to fully open your mind and that there are literally hundreds of examples showing the interplay between Faith and Reason in philosophy, science and literature.
The true ignorance and bigotry is found in his broad brush approach that makes anyone of faith stupid, mindless and easily led. I take issue and offense, especially coming from someone who is mindless and easily led himself.
