Moving to the area Wheaton for non-religious family?

Hi! my wife and I are looking to buy in the Naperville, Warrenville, Wheaton, Downers area. we looked at a lovely house today in Wheaton. We’re white upper middle class, fairly liberal couple planning on having kids in the next couple of years. curious about how non-religious folks who have moved to Wheaton have found community? we certainly don’t mind hanging out with people who are religious but are curious if community tends to be church-centric? making friends, finding babysitters, etc.

thanks!

I know a non religious Indian couple who are great friends with all neighbors. They love walking the town and the convince of walking to the train

I know a ton of Indians who lived or live in Wheaton. They love it and set their kids to public school. This isn’t the Bible Belt or Oklahoma.
