<p>^While I have no personal negative experiences with Catholic schools, I have HEARD of some Catholic schools that are similarly “more intense, more saturated.” I definitely know of Catholic schools with de facto daily prayer. You generalize to say that all Catholic schools are friendly to non-believers/non-Catholics, which is simply not the case. Perhaps the chance is higher with Catholic schools than with other Christian schools, but it’s still a good deal lower than attending a secular public school.</p>
