As much as I wish that putting kids raised with these beliefs into schools with open, honest and tolerant attitudes would change their minds, I doubt it will happen.

Yes. No matter what else you do with your life, unless you marry (and procreate), everything you have done is worthless. There are no words for how much this idea dismays me.
(You've mentioned your background a little in your journal - can I just say how inspiring I find it that you overcame the prejudice you were raised with, through your own (and other's) intellectual honesty? I admire your faith, and your reason, so much more for it. And please feel free to tell me if I am out of line here.)
