We shouldn't cast them all as bad, because they are not
As a child in the UK I attended a CoE Primary School, we got a visit once a year from the local CoE vicar and that was the whole of the religious experience, in the town virtually every primary school was affiliated to the church, there was nothing wrong with the education I received there.
My local hospital in STL was started by The Sisters of Charity of St. Vincent DePaul in 1828, it was the first Catholic healthcare institution in the USA, the first hospital west of the Mississippi, and the first hospital to be run by women. Today its' part of the SSM group and operates as a non-profit hospital based on Catholic principles but provides all the usual services without forcing or spouting any relegious practices upon its patients.
I've had 4 surgeries there with 2 extended stays and the only religious indication I saw was a small cross on the wall of my room and a brief visit from the hospital chaplain to ask if I was OK and if I wanted to talk he was available, not being Catholic or religious even, excepting United, I politely declined and off he went, unoffended so I suspect that wasn't an unusual occurence to him.
