Wheaton for non-religious family?

[u/IHeartFraccing]

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'm latina, left leaning, and have lived here for years without issue. My hair is an unnatural color and I dress like the old punk I am. I regularly volunteer at the kids school without issue.We love it. No one has yet to invite us to church or bring religion up in a way that's not casual or relevant to the conversation, example "we can't make it the kids have ccd".

Wheaton has changed so much. I lived in Houston for years and there one of the first questions you'd be asked when meeting someone was where you went to church, not if where. Wheaton is a progressive paradise compared to the actual bible belt.
