Irreligon

Due to my parents' refusal to attend/practice/believe in any particular religion, I have been prevented from attending one third of all the schools in my country.
Now, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. My secular(ish) primary school didn't seriously damage me, and I think that I'm not overly disadvantaged by avoiding being force-fed the scripture of a religion that I may not believe in or that my parents don't believe in. It dodged the mixed messages, and stopped me from turning into a god-loving, prayer-saying robot.
But, surely, it's unfair. The schools with the best SATs scores are unfailingly religious schools. Why should I, a child of agnostic, and all round lovely, kind and intelligent parents, be prevented from attending a school who Ofsted describe as good to outstanding, which I fell into the catchment area for, and instead had to go to a school that scored significantly lower, just because I wasn't Catholic.
If this occurred due to skin colour, or my parents income, there would be an outcry.
Why is division alongside religious lines allowed?
