No school can be religiously neutral.

Seems like you don't want them to be, so what's the problem?

The only solution

Stop. "Only" solution according only to you. Opinion.

In a totally private system, the parents would choose an educational setting

Also opinion.. conjecture as well.
What if a majority of parents figured dinosaurs roamed the Earth many millions of years ago?

There is almost no fiction written that doesn't involve the breaking or keeping of one or more of the Ten Commandments and the consequences of this action.

So what is the difference between Godless and religious teaching of the material?

In my Catholic school the moral conflicts found in literature were analyzed through the prism of our religious beliefs.

Well good for you. To me, that would seem a lot a lot like
tearing a story up and trying to fit it into your ideology piecemeal.

There was no hesitation to bring into the discussion our scriptures and the writing of our church leaders.

So you were told what to think rather than encouraged to form ideas.

the students were reminded that math and science were a reflection of God's glory

While in favor of God's glory, I'd ask if the mathematical solutions were any different with or without it.

It is IMPOSSIBLE for any government school to be religiously, culturally, or politically neutral.

You don't want neutral. You want it done YOUR WAY.
