Being a secular homeschooler is fun and confusing to most people

Unless something has changed in the last few years, here in Alabama homeschooling involves exploiting a religious loophole. Basically, you have a right to give your kids a "religious" education and if you chose that option the state can't be involved in what, when, or how your kids are educated. The majority of homeschoolers sign up for what is called a "cover school" which are often operated by churches or at the very least an organization with strong Christian overtones. There was, however, one "Pagan" cover school that welcomed everyone regardless of their beliefs or lack thereof. I knew parents who were somewhat religious but not exactly Christian who chose this option as they were very hands off.
