Why do we have faith in our education system?

I live in Britain, We, as a nation, should be leading the way in all areas of modern life. We should be demonstrating to other nations of the world how to move forward in to an increasingly fact-based world. We should be leaving behind outdated rules, traditions, thoughts and processes. We should be pushing the boundaries of modern science and technologies and debunking myths wherever they exist within our society. We should be modern.
It is for this reason that we need to get rid of 'Faith Schools' from the education system, not just the state schools but across the board. Schooling should be about education and knowledge, truth and evidential sciences. It should not be about brainwashing vulnerable children and forcing them to believe clearly wrong, ancient myths and religions. It is nothing short of
disgusting that, in this nation and others that should inhabit the forefront of thought, we are allowing children to be misinformed and frightened in to believing myths from the dark ages. State funded schools should be teaching facts. Schools should be about educating and inspiring young minds, not brainwashing them and limiting their potential. Religious institutions that are hotbeds for the pre-loading of young minds with hogwash should be a thing of the past.  Creationism is the realm of the feeble minded.
