Atheists & Agnostics

Happily my parents were Episcopalians, which is kind of diet Catholicism without nuns and without, to my knowledge, schools. Christ without the calories.

If they had private schools we couldn't afford them. My parents were what today we would call lower middle class, with the caveat that lower middle class people could afford a home in a good school district.

My wife's father was, by contrast, a physician, and could and did send his daughters for a time to Catholic school.

Ultimately my wife, freaked out by the nuns, went to NY City public school, a dangerous school. She hoped she wouldn't get stabbed or raped, and didn't but she says it was a near thing.

Nevertheless she chose ot over catholic school so there's that.
