NON religious home school is it possible

NON-Religious home school is it possible?
I am not sure if it's possible. It seems that this is the biggest question we get asked is, if we home school for religious reasons?
The answer is YES and NO
Yes!!
Because we focus on every religion and I want my children to understand and delve into all kinds of cultures and religions. After all, how do you know what you believe until you know what you don't. We feel it is very important for our children to understand and respect religions from all over the globe. Our children are going to be living in, and working in an extremely global economy. I want them to be, not just tolerant but also educated, about the diverse customs and religions of other cultures.
NO! Because we do NOT focus on any one religion as being correct. We do not force them to adhere to rules customs or concepts of a specific religion. We do not use a religious curriculum in which they only see one aspect of the world. We refuse to educate our children on only one pattern of thought. We encourage an open minded, discussion based theory.
We use an online program, which is completely unbiased. Why? Because, that is what our children will be using in their work environment. It is what they understand and it is what they enjoy.
So the answer for the last time is Yes and No we home school for religious reasons, but probably not the kind that most people are thinking, I don't suspect we will have a realty show about our progressive thinking anytime soon, well maybe if we have 20 more children!!! :)
