Please. Just. Stop. It.

Children do not have a choice about what values and beliefs they are taught - or not taught - regardless of the family situation. There is nothing you can do about it. Npthing. You cannot stop adults from procreating and teaching their offspring crap. There are already laws against child neglect and abuse. Your post is actually just one long-winded rationalisation for inflicting your subjective values and personal prejudices on others, dictating where they cannot live and how they cannot raise their children. Heaven help anyone who tries interfering in your living arrangements and your parenting methods, I bet.

I think Christianity is bunk, but I consider societal freedoms to be under greater threat from people who think They Know Best for everyone than religious fruitloops wanting to start their own private communities to "get away from it all". Those who are really concerned about teenage sufferers or victims of alcoholism, mental illness, homophobia etc. can donate to a number of charities or take action at a local level. This would be a much more productive and positive use of their limited time, energy and resouces than petitioning the construction of some pearly-gated community in Florida.
