They are thinking about the books that they are fed in school, which are curated to push a political and ideological belief system.

You are thinking about the relatively few great books that you have read.

You are not talking about the same thing.

Aside from that I think you over estimating what those books have done for you. I don't think you are much less susceptible to propaganda for having read them.
