Your group sounds great. Unfortunately in my area all the homeschool groups are religion based. There are a few scattered individuals that are not, but there has been no success in bringing them together. I actually really like the church ladies, because despite our basic religious differences, we do have in common the effort to follow a sort of life philosophy/moral code. It makes for really nice, quality people. I get the feeling these ladies may be a bit more accepting than some of the others I have seen. I suppose time will tell.
