I believe I had similar experiences as yourself. There would even be Jehovas Witness teachers, who would make points favouring her belief despite teaching others. I wish I learnt more about the faith I was born into, Sikhism, rather than having to learn it myself as I grew older.
It's what happens when there's a state-mandated religion. A lot of people don't realise it's still law in the UK for state schools to have a certain amount of christian content per day. Obviously a lot of schools ignore that with zero repercussions but it's indicative of what happens when theist religions have a choke hold on the tools of state, particularly one religion.
Legally enforceable christianity in schools, the rise and rise of single faith schooling, the fact that we're only one of two countries in the world that have unelected religious leaders actively participating in forming the laws of the land (the other, notably, is Iran). And all in a country that is no longer a majority christian country.
