whenever i hear of someone talking about being raised in a strict religion, i notice my instant curiosity is "were you homeschooled for all of it tho". Homeschooling feels like the big dividing line between "annoying cultural experience" and "totalizing world brainwashing"

some exceptions exist for extremely religious schools that are actually only populated by other very religious people; some subsections of mormonism hit this, for example.

Was homeschooled for all of it. Raised in a strict religious house. Definitely still finding new ways I have to undo the damage. Can speak well about the alienating and dehumanizing effects of very specific kinds of abuse. Ugh.
