IMNSHO: Religion can be a good thing. I have been a member off and on of an organized religion for much of my life. Which is not to say that I accept all aspects of the doctrinal theology, but rather I appreciate the community of shared values and the commitment to doing good in the world.

Canadian history with, not nuns specifically, but with schools run by the various churches, the catholic one in particular, are very, very dark. The churches were put in charge of educating the Indian out of the Indians (the aboriginal Canadians had the word Indian hung on them as an identifier).
