The irony is that fundamentalists rely on so much engineering, built on layers of scientific research, for what they do (like eating. And recruitment. And printing and distributing that textbook), and… yeah.
It’d be like a flat-earther in orbit. It’s beyond ironic: it’s just not possible without the help of people outside that belief.

We briefly homeschooled during the pandemic, and like you we’re non-conservative Christians. When our Christian friends asked about our curriculum, they always wrinkled their noses at the fact that it said “secular curriculum” on the cover. We told them, “you don’t understand how weird the home school curriculum business is. Trust me, it’s way easier to take this curriculum and add the values we want to impart than to take all the Christian nationalism out of the religious curriculum.”
