I would imagine home schooling and socializing around something like your church will give you better odds of turning out fine. Putting your kids in public spaces exposes them to kids from all sorts of negative background that can influence your kids greatly. In essence, you want to keep your kids away from bad kids which are a function of bad parents with bad values.

Note that this is often relative. You may find the church to be full of people with bad values. Likewise, someone who is religious may not want their kids to socialize with kids that have parents that encourage things like transgenderism in pre-teen kids.

Not sure what browsing HN has to do with anything. I turned out really badly and still browse HN. It's not like there's a gatekeeper, it's just a tech-focused message board. Nobody asked me if I went to college when I signed up.
