I'm going to make a couple of assumptions: - "comprehensive health care to women" is a metaphor for abortion and other contraception-related treatment. - You mean "World Youth Day", which is a community event open to embers of any denomination, celebrating Roman Catholicism.
I did a bit of searching, but I can't find any information about these opt-out Special Religious Education classes. All I found were details on opt-in (permission slip required) volunteer-basis RE classes run for state schools by local churches, Catholic, Protestant and any other. I understand that these were "off the top of your head" examples, but could you provide some links to more info on this?
Your responses lead me to believe that you aren't differentiating between "The Church" and religious belief.
We do not have a "State Religion". The power structures of the State do not overlap with any church. Politicians are free to swear on anything they value for their oaths. Having a religious belief - or lack thereof - does not bar you from entering politics. Politicians are required to make moral judgements in making laws, and can draw moral guidance from any source they wish.
If you want a government that is anti-religion, where politicians don't have these freedoms, you had better start your own party. Or move to China.
