There is more to be said about the nexus of education and religion. Discovering that god has gone missing, I suggest, may itself miss an important point, that nothing has replaced god in our lives and that the obvious current moral vacuum in today's society is an example of our cultural diminution as a result.
Ever since the dawn of man, from the very first words ( "where's my coffee" ? ) man has sought knowledge and comfort from religion and its beliefs. In addition to such succor however arose conflict between religions and within . Now that god is dead we are left without a moral leader and the support structures of religion, like counseling services, immigrant welcome centres and sunday school for children, just to mention a few, will be hard pressed to continue their good works.
That god does not exist in a Cartesian sense, as a rational matter, is a fairly established fact but I'm not sure our lives and families are culturally better off. Quite the contrary. When science takes away our gods it's very important to keep the social benefits that religions provide. Is that possible ?
And a society without gods, what is the political prospect there ? Most such groups are fascist states at their core, like Russia, China, National Socialist governments, etc.
So be careful what you wish for, mon ami.
