My husband went to a Catholic school, and while they did have religion classes, their math class wasn't "Biblical" and the learned about actual science. The homeschool Christian curricula seem mostly written for fundamentalist Christians, like Bible literalists and young earth creationists, who are too extreme even for most larger Christian schools.

There are things that appeal to me about Christian education (if we choose to send our children to school...'nother issue there) but they have a lot more to do with the quality of the schooling (smaller class sizes, parents who care, etc.) than with a curriculum based on Jesus. Who was a cool guy, but that's not the point. I really, really like this post.
