It has influence - you cannot learn something new and not have it influence you in some way or another. However, I also think that environment, personality, family history, ethnic heritage may also play its part.

My ex-wife does this: She believes Harvard/Yale ed is much better than a nice solid university. While I believe the person makes their life as they live, and where they went to school doesn't help that much. Of course there are networks and clicks of "Greek houses" that help people get over others more qualified. Sometimes I believe university educated people are better than me, but that's different.
Oh, religiously - public school did not influence my faith. I guess if you don't question anything then you can be influenced by anyone.

Well It really all depends on the individual.
One that has not been tought any religious beliefs
will think that everything learned in class is the only way.
And one that has been tought religious beliefs will have to
just go along with everything in class but not really believe it or have there own thoughts on certain things.
For me I had to go to school and learn about humans that come from apes but in my heart I know god made us and I believe in Adam and Eve and not the apes-At some point it can get confusing And there is so much to think about.
So It has a huge affect -from personal experience.
good question by the way star for you!

I suppose close to nothing. The education system is against teaching any belief. It make kids to believe no religion or God. Just few minutes I answer a person who says 'Religion is a fart and most of the fellows who answered his question favoured this concept. They appreciate that he called religion fart. They are happy that they learnt today a new description of Religion.
This is known as Secular system. It educates and trains only people to work for the secular system. If secular system allows religious education, then too many people will revolt against secular system. They will destroy the secular system. It is operated by the rich corporation for their best interests. The political machinery works for the rich. They can not win election if rich stop giving them money.
I can not keep writing against secular system on this progam. So end here.
May God make give you knowledge that you seek to learn and use it for humanity. That will please God and He may reward you in abundance in this life. If you really believe in God and work for humanity believing that you are helping humaity to please God, then He will give you abundance in this life as well as heaven in hereafter with every thing you can ever imagine in it for you.

Too much.
They have banned God from the schools.
They don't allow the celebration of Christmas.
They don't allow valedictorians to mention God.
More young people are coming out of this polluted system as atheists than ever before.

In America? Very little. It may reinforce things like patriotic beliefs, but that's about all, I hope!
Some people may claim that it reinforces Christian beliefs, and I would say from my experience that a few teachers might have, but then again I remember one teacher who said something to us which remained with me through the years. He said that religion is "man's way of trying to explain things that he does not understand." That little sentence served to single-handedly counter all kinds of other nonsense for me!

A lot- way too much. People are at school all day, and it has an excesive amount of influnence over them. Even family, because the kids are always trying to impress people at school.

Well in school right now we're learing about Moses and the 10 commandments, and my teacher says if we're learning about it in social studies its fine, but I do not agree what-so-ever. The 10 commandments? Come on! That is VERY religious.

When I was in fifth grade (a long, long time ago), a fellow student was targeted, ridiculed, and suspended for NOT saying "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance.
He did not believe in God, and did not want to participate in something that he considered a lie.
Again, he was targeted, ridiculed, and suspended for not participating in something that had nothing to do with academia.
