If mathematics is easy for a person...
I wrote this before Marty got a degree in economics. They were 18 or older before taking any classes, and only needed to pay for the books.
My kids all caught up with formal math in a semester or two of community college. Marty did up to calculus. Kirby only took one class but makes use of math all the time in his work and play, and is good with money and loans and banking and all that practical life stuff.
Holly took three classes, I think. Maybe two. Liked it; it wasn't difficult. There were people in class with her bemoaning the difficulty, and they had been in school for twelve years or more, taking math classes.
That was written in 2014. Their paid employment and their hobbies, since then, have involved some or all of logistics, statistics, financial accounting, coding/programming, inventory and cash handling. What they learned in class was the notation used to communicate mathematical ideas "on paper" in our culture.
Some of their facility might have been inherited genetically from their mathish dad. That's fair, too.

Learning in quirky ways
I'm completely sure of unschooling because I believe in people's desire and ability to learn wonderful things in quirky ways if they're given the opportunity.

Why be good?
It was a great question. They were good because it made them better people. Not to go to Heaven or to avoid hell. Not to make Jesus happy.

Of course there are Christian unschoolers, too
