The harm of religion is historically evident whereas the presence or absence of gods is not. Ultimately, the continued existence of religion is predicated on the indoctrination of children and suppression of rational thought. Therefore I am against religion but not necessarily against the idea of gods. For all we know gods are computer scientists and we are in their video game.

    “education is never objective, it is never apolitical, and systematic education does not unlock human potential under capitalism, it signals social credentials to the bourgeois that you can move in that world and are most likely going to uphold those mores.”

    I neither agree nor disagree. You're addressing the past or current way of doing things. I just enjoy dreaming about what could be to give me hope and motivation to endure the incremental progress.
