Help! Need to send 5yr old to Catholic school, our public schools.suck

Hi all! Need some advice. We live in an area with BAD public schools. Only alternative options We have are a Montessori or a Catholic school. Both are backwards. We are leaning towards Catholic. I went to Catholic schools from 2nd grade through high school graduation. My wife was also raised Catholic. She thinks it will be fine to put him in Catholic school, I'm just worried about all the Jesus stuff. They have prayers daily a monthly mass service the kids attend. I don't want him brainwashed, but I also don't want him to try to rebuke what they say. We have never mentioned anything about any religion to him. "Jesus Christ" is just a swear word! Lol
The application for kindergarten asks about what parish you belong to, baptism date and 'll kinda of stuff. We pay more tuition as non believers oops I mean non parishioners.
Anyone have experiences sending their kidnap. Catholic school? I have the education, I could bullshit my way through, but should I pre brainwash my kid so he can get s better and safer education and hope he figures out the religion. Is a way to tame the masses on his own? I hate to introduce the lies of religion, I guess the underlying messages are good, I just don't like the idea of praying to an omnipotent deity and tackling hell and Satan and all that. Help!
