That's a bit hard on yourself. What they believe in is living a virtuous
life as laid out in the gospels.

That's obviously not true, because they also believe a bunch of stuff
not in the gospels. And what that stuff is varies from sect to sect,
such as:
* whether priests are necessary;
* if they are, whether women can be priests;
* if they can, whether they are as priestly as men;
* whether gay people should have human rights;
* whether evolution happened

Few of those issues will emerge as important to a student's education at
a faith school in the UK.

As in the evil gays and palaeontologists are kept well away, or as in
the system isn't yet that bad?
