iak8god isn't bigoted. Hardcore Christians do an incredible disservice to their children when the homeschool. My friend grew up in a Christian household and, while he wasn't homeschooled, he was told that "science is bullshit propaganda and we don't care if you don't do well in public school science". At this point he's an atheist and he's pissed at his parents for it.
Yeah, they might be decent and kind people. But being kind and decent is not a replacement for being effective.

I suspect that there's a correlation between the amount of secular education given to (or forced upon) a religious population and how peaceful they are.
