Stop assuming that families with lots of children are religious



Timothy and Kyla Buller of Bismarck, N.D., with their seven children (Mandy Moracco Photography)

By Julie Zauzmer
May 31

The Buller family goes out to dinner once a week. When they pass by other tables, “their eyes kind of speak volumes,” Kyla Buller said. “You can see them counting.”

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. That’s right. Seven kids in the Buller household.

“There’s a lot of people that just assume,” Buller said. “They say, ‘Oh, you must be churchgoers. You must be religious.'”

They’re not.
