NO - with that reguiorment no females would be in th mainstream. My high schoold din't even have football we had a top class soccer team.
NO - in many areas Christians are actually the minority.
NO - Most of todays families are recomfigured in some way
No - Many people that are very main stream work hours other than 9-5. My m-f office starts at 8:30
The main stream of america is diversity - you are the one trying to create boxes to put people ito rather than accepting are true strength.
If someone had to meat all the criteria that you listed it would be a very small percent of the country - hardly a way to create a "mainstream".

I'm a lifelong Roman Catholic who played football in school, came from a non-broken family, and worked as soon as I was old enough to.
And I'm anything but mainstream.
Then again, I was forced to play football, and hated every minute of it. Maybe that's where I went wrong. I didn't have the all-important football gene.

1. No. I don't even like WATCHING football.
2. No. I'm an atheist, but grew up baptist.
3. No, although I didn't. My parents never separated, let alone divorced.
4. I have an 8 to 4:30 weekday job.
Guess I'm not all that mainstream. Woo hoo. I'm such an anarchist.

No to all 4 questions. I fit into mainstream society and I'm a Spiritual Satanist.

No, on all four counts.
Make your own guidelines and convince others to follow you.
That way, you become a leader not a follower.
Education is the answer and not superficial social guidelines that only last as long as the fad continues.

# 2, 3, & 4 are basic requirements.
# 1 would be for men only...and southern men specifically

I am only 1/4. I guess I don't "fit in". Oh well.

I'm pretty sure that none of those things are mainstream in the US.
