Try being Orthodox Christian or ANY religion in any US public school system, any college/university paradigm. Atheists rule in every mainstream college and university.
Maybe you're trying to break into private colleges with publicized biases, but otherwise, monster ... what do you expect? If 'odd reactions' at this point in your kids' scholastic careers are freaking you out, you have it good.
I had the opposite experience. My kids had a religious identity and that was NOT okay in the sports world. Atheism was all that passed muster. Everyone has a different pass through the sports mill; personally, I don't think the whole show is worth a damn.
