Not wanting to get into a war here-— I was summing up what I’ve heard from my kids friends.

Ah, gotcha.
(Didn't mean to come off as "starting a war".)

I should have made that more clear.

Gotcha / No problems.

But, personally, I find the religious education in my parish to be horrible. I was raised Protestant. In my congregation the kids had Sunday school. And we learned the bible. We were told the traditional stories. We talked about what they meant. We talked about the “every day” phrases you hear that are taken from the bible. And we were given context.

I married a catholic. The kids were raised catholic. I did more Sunday school after CCD just so my kids would be biblically literate.

Most of my kids friends have no idea what their religion is about. Here in the northeast if you try to have an intelligent discussion about church, the bible, or morals, people look at you like you are trying to be Jimmy Swaggart.
