I don't know where you live, but my anecdata from being homeschooled starting ~20 years ago in the Bay Area contradicts this. I was part of a group of more than 50 homeschooled children of various ages. Our parents all had their own reasons for homeschooling us, but to my knowledge, none of them did it because they thought the public schools were too secular and teaching "sinful" science.
We were aware of families homeschooling for religious reasons, but not in the Bay Area.

Absolutely, all politics is local and the plural of anecdote isn’t data. I only homeschooled for a single year. I fully expect the communities to vary by region.
