Are US Catholic schools really that religious?

I went to a Catholic school in Ireland and religion had a very minor role in day to day activities or the curriculum.

Any religious activities that did occur were entirely optional; nobody cared if you participated or not.

They're really called Catholic schools because they used to be run by people from religious orders, but they're all dead now and have been replaced by lay people.

Ireland does have a very different relationship with the Catholic faith than the US does, especially over the last couple of decades.

I can't blame them. They've had their trust violated at every possible moment. I do not envy a priest assigned there.
