There are something like 10 million students attending Christian school and the like, and another 5 million or so being home schooled.

They don't really believe in the scientific method and critical thinking, in general. At least in my experience as a student of a Christian school. I had no idea.

    Gets me wondering which type of "Christian".

    Reminds me of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8swSkk9yeV8 .

    There are many christians (not of that^ ilk) who very much are into the sciences, and are undogmatic in their approach to either religion or science. ... Which was a surprise to me and my teenage militant aitheism that had swallowed the false dichotomy whole.

    Here's the rub... those practical moderates FUEL the fanatics (donations and tithing), and they also provide the fundamentalists with a smoke screen of respectability.

    They're a huge part of the problem. The fundies depend on the moderates.
