Is it ok to be a Christian homeschooler that doesn't want to be stereotyped as a Christian homeschooler?

We watch a show called The Middle that I really didn't want to like. But after having it on I guess it grew on me. I am just shocked and appalled that at this day and age with such a huge influx in homeschooling across all cultures and faiths in this country that a show would have the audacity to take a biblical pot shot towards homeschoolers.

According to Time4Learning,"The government says that 1.77 million students were homeschooled in 2012, 

which is an 18% increase since the last study in 2007. In fact, the number of homeschooled children has been steadily increasing each year, and is expected to continue to rise." 

Just some of the reasons for homeschooling include political freedoms, religious freedoms, wanting to spend time with family, scheduling, illness, disabilities, etc. I am not even going to start on the homeschooling vs. Public Schooling success scores, because this isn't about judging others. I just think it's about time homeschoolers got some good PR. I mean surely we volunteer enough participate in the same church/community events as the public school children do. Maybe I'm missing something, but I will just have to let life speak for itself.

  

I am a Christian and a homeschooler and while I guess that makes me a Christian homeschooler, I did not/do not homeschool for religious reasons.

What are some of the reasons that you homeschool and do you feel homeschooling as a good reputation in your community?
